Subject: Quick check on the open invoice

Hi there,

I wanted to check on the invoice for the completed project work. It looks like the payment date has passed, so I am writing to confirm when payment is expected.

Could you please send the payment status or expected payment date when you have a moment?

Thanks,
Your Name
