Subject: Payment update for invoice WEB-104

Hi Morgan,

I'm following up on invoice WEB-104 for USD 740 for the website design, which was due September 4. I haven't received payment confirmation yet.

Could you confirm the payment status by September 10? If payment has already been sent, please share the date so I can check my records.

Thanks,
Alex
