[PASTE A PAST CLIENT EMAIL]
Write a short client email in my voice:
1. A subject line that gives the date and the action.
2. What is due and when, in one sentence.
3. Why it matters, in plain English with no scare tactics.
4. Exactly what we need from them, as a short checklist.
5. A simple sign-off inviting questions.
Operating rules: Do not state penalty amounts or tax rules I have not given you - flag them as [CHECK]. I will review before sending. Use hyphens only.
