How to Remind Someone who Promised you Money [Sample Messages]

If you’ve ever been in a situation where someone promised you money but later on act as nothing happened, you understand that it is difficult to walk up to them and request the money. If you don’t play it right, you might piss them off and end up getting nothing, which is why this article will show you how to remind someone who promised you money and get them to fulfill their promise.

To remind someone who promised to send you money, you must observe their body language and know when they are in a good mood. Then give a concrete reason why the money is significant to you at that point, then confirm if they will send it right away.

Many questions are going through your mind when you realize that the person who promised you money is no longer responding.

• “Did they forget?”
• “Have they changed their mind?”
• “Don’t they have the money again?”

Questions like this might force you to take an irrational decision and make a costly mistake, especially if the money is a huge one.

So how do you go about this the right way and get the money someone promised you? You can get clues from this website.

Let’s look at the steps to take.

Steps to Remind Someone Who Promised you to Send you Money

Observe their Body Language

If you are friends online or offline, then take time to study their body language and know what their current state looks like.

If you follow them on social media, check out their latest post and wait for good timing to make an entry.

Once they show signs of happiness, that should be the right time to make a move.

Drop a Pleasant Greeting

Don’t dive straight into asking or reminding them of the money they promised you; that would be shooting yourself in the feet – especially when they aren’t in a good mood.

Your pleasant greeting would be to gauge their response and know if it’s the right time to take your shot!

“Hope you are doing well; I am checking on you to make sure you are doing okay. Do have a wonderful day, and I wish you the best of luck today.”

Give them some space.

It wouldn’t be right to drop a pleasant greeting and asking for money straight up. It would look so fake and piss them off.

You know the feeling that someone only cares about you because of the promise you made to them. That’s what they might feel when you ask for money almost immediately.

Get chatty with them.

After some time, if they haven’t responded positively by sending you the money they promised you, then engage them in a neutral chat. The aim would be to create an entry and find the right time to remind them that they promised you money.

When being chatty with them, focus on neutral topics, then pause and throw in the reminder line.

Use a polite tone

When trying to remind someone who promised you money to fulfill their promise, it is necessary always to remain polite.

Yes, they are yet to fulfill a promise, but they can also backtrack, and there’s nothing you can do about it. So remain polite and neutral even when it seems they aren’t giving you the answer you think you deserve.

Always leave a follow back date after the conversation

Should they tell you that they forgot and would do it later, don’t force them to commit?

Acknowledge their response and push for a follow-back date. You can say something as simple as;

“Oh {friend}, I understand; you have a lot going on. No problems because I trust you’d definitely send it over. Just in case you forget again, I will remind you a day after tomorrow … lol.

Thank youuuuuu”.
