Subject
Friendly reminder: invoice [number]
Body
Hi [First Name], This is a reminder, not a scare note. Invoice [number] is still open. The version of this that matters for managers and directors measured on pipeline, not on how clever the campaign felt is recovered 19% of paid pipeline after a landing-page follow-up overhaul. If this needs to be split across two cost centers, I can reissue it. Re-open the file with less friction than the original ask. Reply with 'received' if it's already in process so I stop bumping it. Best, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Your Company]
