## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Write payment reminders for an overdue invoice from [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. my cleaning company].

Customer: [CUSTOMER FIRST NAME]
Invoice number and amount: [INVOICE DETAILS, e.g. #1042, $680]
Due date: [DUE DATE]
How they can pay: [PAYMENT OPTIONS, e.g. card link or bank transfer]
Late fee in my terms, if any: [LATE FEE TERMS, e.g. none]

Write three messages:
1. 3 days late: friendly, assumes they forgot, under 70 words
2. 14 days late: firmer, with a clear pay-by date, under 90 words
3. 30 days late: a final notice that states my next step (only what my terms allow), under 100 words

Each needs a subject line, the invoice number, amount and due date, and the payment link on its own line. Don't apologize for asking, and don't threaten anything that isn't in my terms.
```

## Step by step

1. Fill in the invoice details and your payment terms.
2. Paste the prompt and save all three reminders.
3. Send the first one 3 days after the due date.
4. Send the others only if it's still unpaid.

## What you'll get

Three ready-to-send reminders with subject lines, getting firmer over time and staying within your terms.
