Final notice: payment required for invoice (£1200)

Email body

Hi Acme Ltd,

This is a final notice regarding the unpaid invoice for £1200, now 21 days overdue.

Please arrange payment within 7 days of this notice. If payment is not received by the deadline above, I will need to pause any further work until this is resolved.

If there is a genuine issue preventing payment, reply to this email today and I will work with you on it.

Thanks,
[Your name]

Writing a final notice that works

Give a real deadline

A vague follow-up gets ignored. A specific deadline, even a short one, gives the client a reason to act now rather than later.

State the consequence once

Say what happens if the deadline passes, then stop. Repeating threats across multiple emails reads as bluffing.

Leave the door open

Most late payments are logistics, not disputes. A final notice can still invite a reply if there’s a genuine reason for the delay.

Let GhostPay send the whole sequence

Friendly, then firm, then final, sent automatically as each invoice ages, with every message logged.
