Dear [Client name],
I completed [Service] under our [Agreement]. Invoice no. [Invoice no.] for [Total due] was due on [Due date]. It remains unpaid despite my earlier reminders.

If the amount is not paid by that date, I intend to pursue the remedies open to me, including a small claims case where it applies.
Sincerely,
