Hi [CLIENT NAME],

I wanted to reach out once more about invoice [#INVOICE] for [AMOUNT], which is now 14 days past the original due date of [DUE DATE].

I really value our working relationship, and I want to keep things smooth between us. At the same time, I do need to keep my own cash flow on track, so I'd love to get this resolved.

Could you let me know one of the following?
1. When I can expect payment, or
2. If there's something we need to discuss about the invoice

Here are the details again:
- Invoice: [#INVOICE]
- Amount: [AMOUNT]
- Due: [DUE DATE] (14 days ago)
