Hi [Recipient First Name],
We are currently on an audit process and as a result of this, we are having delays with accounts reconciliations on all aging receivables.
Could you advise if we can expect payments this week on due invoices? Would appreciate you look into this and feed me back?
I’m happy to answer any questions you might have.
Have a great day!
Thank you,
[Vendor Employee Name]
