You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Late Payment Recovery Email.

# Context
Original working context: Write a 3-email sequence to recover a late payment of ₹{{amount}} from {{client_type}}. Email 1 (Due date + 3 days): Gentle reminder. Email 2 (Due date + 10 days): Firm follow-up with late fee notice. Email 3 (Due date + 21 days): Final notice before escalation. Each email: professional, clear, and increasingly firm. Include the late fee clause I should reference.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When invoices go unpaid — follow up systematically without burning the relationship.
