Free templates

Reminder emails for missing documents.
Copy, paste, send.

Eight polite, professional emails for the moments every intake team hits — first ask, gentle nudge, bad upload, expired ID, and the awkward final notice. Use them as-is, or let Xena send the follow-ups for you.

How to use

Fill the brackets. Hit send. Repeat until Friday.

Replace anything in [square brackets]. Keep the tone — clear ask, clear requirement, one link. Then either keep living in your inbox, or see why teams switch to Xenqu and hand the nagging to Xena.

  1. 1Pick the email that matches where the case is stuck.
  2. 2Customize name, document, deadline, and upload link.
  3. 3Copy → paste into Gmail/Outlook → snooze yourself a reminder you'll hate later.

Document request & follow-up email templates

Built for client intake, vendor onboarding, credentialing, and anyone tired of typing “just following up on that document.”

Reply to this email if something isn't clear — happy to help.

Thanks,

Template 04

Bad / unreadable upload

They sent something — glare, crop, blur, or wrong file.

SubjectQuick fix needed on the [Document name] you sent
Hi [First name],

Thanks for sending [Document name] — we received it, but we can't use this version yet:

• Issue: [e.g. "Expiration date is cut off / image is too dark"]
• What we need: [e.g. "All four corners visible, well lit, no glare"]

Please re-upload a corrected file here: [Secure link]

Appreciate the quick turnaround,
[Your name]
Template 05

Wrong document

They uploaded the wrong thing entirely.

SubjectWrong file for [Case / account] — need [Document name]
Hi [First name],

Thanks for the upload. The file we received looks like [what they sent], but we still need [Document name] for [Case / account].

Please send:
• [Document name] — [short requirement]

Upload here: [Secure link]

Thanks,
[Your name]
Template 06

Expired ID or credential

Dates matter — license, COI, passport, cert expired.

Subject[Document name] is expired — please send a current one
Hi [First name],

We reviewed the [Document name] on file for [Case / account]. It appears to have expired on [Date], so we can't proceed with that version.

Please upload a current, unexpired [Document name]:
[Secure link]

If a renewal is already in progress, reply with the expected date.

Thanks,
[Your name]
Template 07

Incomplete form / missing pages

Fields blank, signature missing, or page 2 never arrived.

Hi [First name],

Thanks for starting [Form / packet]. We're still missing:

• [Missing item 1]
• [Missing item 2]

Please complete and re-upload here: [Secure link]

Once those are in, we can keep [Case / account] moving.

Thanks,
[Your name]
Template 08

Final notice before hold

Last call before you pause the case or miss an external deadline.

SubjectFinal notice: [Document name] required to proceed
Hi [First name],

This is a final reminder. Without [Document name] for [Case / account], we'll need to [pause onboarding / hold the account / miss the {external} deadline] after [Date / time].

Upload now: [Secure link]

If you've already sent it, reply with when and how so we can locate it.

You can copy these forty times this week — or let Xena send them.

Xena watches every open case, nudges by email or SMS when something's missing, rejects unusable uploads, and re-requests the fix — so you're not living in the endless reminder loop.
