is due

Today is 16 January. If I politely remind a customer that payment is due on 10 January, is the following sentence natural? Please note that I don't want to use the wording of overdue.

Please note that the attached invoice is due for payment.

I don't know why you don't want to use the word overdue.

'Please note that the attached invoice was due for payment six days ago.'

It's still polite but adds a note of tetchiness (annoyance at having to wait for your money).

Thanks Rover. As this is a friendly reminder, overdue might be sensible. Which of the following sentences is natural?

1. Please note that the attached invoice is due on 10 January.
2. Please note that the attached invoice was due on 10 January.

As it's the 16th now, use #2.

Please note that the attached invoice is due for payment.

Note my corrections above.

Please note that the attached invoice was due on January 10th. Please arrange payment immediately.


I don't understand why you don't want to use "overdue". It's the perfect way to start the message.

If I use overdue in the said sentence, should I say "Please note the attached invoice is overdue"?

Yes, that's fine.
