Subject: Payment update for invoice HN-204
Hi Ellis,
I am checking on invoice HN-204 for $480 USD, which was due on October 20. Could you let me know whether payment has been sent or when you expect to arrange it?
If you have already paid, thank you. A brief reply with the payment date would help me check the status on my side. If payment is still pending, please use the instructions included with the invoice.
Please also let me know if you need another copy of the invoice or have a question about it. I appreciate your help in getting this resolved.
Thanks,
Maya

Common questions
Will it add a late fee?
No. A fee appears only if you supply the applicable amount and policy; verify that information yourself.
Can I write a reminder before the due date?
Yes. Include the due date and a reference date, and ask for a friendly upcoming-payment reminder.
