WA TemplatesPolite payment reminders
Gentle, firm and final reminders that keep the relationship.
Asking for money is awkward, so people either wait too long or write something sharp. A reminder works best when it is polite, specific and easy to act on: the amount, the date, how to pay. These messages move from a friendly nudge to a clear final notice, without threats.
Always include the bill number and the amount. Never threaten, shame or contact a person's family or workplace about a debt.
