Email templates / Follow-up after no reply
Most people are not ignoring you, they are busy. A good follow-up is short, makes it easy to answer, and adds one new reason to reply.
Replace the [brackets] with your details. Change the tone to fit your relationship with the reader.
Hi [Name], I wanted to check that my last message reached you. A quick yes or no on [topic] would help me plan. Thank you.
Hi [Name], following up on my note from [day]. I know things get busy. If it is easier, I can call you for two minutes, or you can reply with a single word and I will take it from there.
Hi [Name], I do not want to crowd your inbox, so this is my last note on [topic]. If the timing is not right, no problem at all. Just tell me and I will close it on my side.
