Worked example
Subject: Quick question about the project timeline
Hi Jordan,
Following up on our conversation about the Q3 project timeline. We have updated the roadmap with the features we discussed.
Would you have 15 minutes this week to review the changes?
Best,
Sam
Keep the request easy to answer
Use the recipient's name and real context. “Following up” is fine when followed by a clear purpose. Avoid repeated pressure or guilt. Keep a routine follow-up brief; use more detail when the situation needs it.
