Write a polite-but-firm payment-reminder / collections email sequence for overdue invoices. Use when asked to write a collections email, a payment reminder, a dunning sequence, or to chase an overdue invoice. Produces a staged sequence — gentle pre-due nudge through escalating overdue reminders to a final notice — that stays professional, keeps the relationship intact, and makes paying easy. Not legal advice.
What to give it
▸The invoice — number, amount, original due date, and how overdue it is.
▸The relationship — client name, contact, and whether they're a valued ongoing client or a one-off.
▸Terms — your payment terms and any agreed late-fee/interest (flag to confirm enforceability).
▸Payment method — exactly how they can pay (link, bank details), to remove friction.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The sequence escalates in firmness over a sensible cadence (gentle → formal final notice)
✓Every email restates the amount, invoice number, and an easy way to pay
✓Early emails assume good faith (oversight), not bad intent
✓The final notice states a concrete, factual next step — not an empty or unlawful threat
✓Tone stays professional throughout — firm, never abusive
✓Late-fee/interest and escalation are flagged to confirm, not asserted as enforceable
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not open with hostility — most late payments are oversight; start friendly
Do not make it hard to pay — repeat the payment link/details in every message
Do not threaten legal action or fees you can't or won't enforce — keep it factual and lawful
Do not wait until 60 days to send the first chase — a pre-due/just-due nudge gets paid fastest
Do not present this as legal advice — flag interest/escalation for professional confirmation
