Published on November 17, 2025

The invoice is attached, but the email body is blank. You stare at the cursor. How friendly should you be? How direct? Here are 5 templates you can steal right now.

1. The Standard Send (Friendly & Professional)

Subject: Invoice [Number] for [Project Name]

Hi [Client Name],

I hope you're having a great week.

Please find attached Invoice #[Number] for [Project Name], totaling [Amount]. The payment is due by [Date].

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,
[Your Name]

2. The "Just Following Up" (1 Day Overdue)

Subject: Overdue: Invoice [Number] for [Project Name]

Hi [Client Name],

Just a quick friendly reminder that Invoice #[Number] was due yesterday, [Date].

I'm sure it just slipped through the cracks. I've re-attached it here for convenience. Please let me know when this has been processed.

Thanks!
[Your Name]
