Collections Email Skill
Chasing payment is uncomfortable, so it's often done too late or too harshly. The effective approach is a staged sequence that starts friendly and firms up on a schedule — always professional, always making it trivially easy to pay. This skill writes that sequence so you get paid without burning the relationship.
Note: this is a communication aid, not legal or debt-collection advice. Late-payment interest, statutory rights, and regulated debt-collection rules vary by jurisdiction — confirm any interest/late fees and escalation (collections agency, legal) with an accountant/lawyer before acting on them.
Working from a brief
Given "chase a client whose $5,000 invoice is 2 weeks overdue", write the full sequence anyway — infer a sensible cadence and tone progression, marking specifics (insert invoice #, amount, dates, payment link). Don't state late-fee/interest amounts as enforceable — flag them to confirm. Never threaten beyond what's lawful/intended.
