Follow-up Reminder Email

Polite, action-oriented nudge that surfaces what's outstanding without sounding pushy.

When to use this

Use after 5-7 working days of silence. Restate what's pending and what the next step is. Don't apologise for following up — it's part of the job.

The template

Subject: Following up: [Original subject]

Dear [Name],

I'm following up on my email of [date] regarding [topic].

To recap what's pending on your side:
- [Action / decision needed]
- [By when]

If it would help to discuss live, I can find time in [Executive]'s diary on [day] or [day]. Otherwise, a short note when you've had a chance to look would close the loop.

Thank you,
[Your name]
