The thing is, my sorta employer has been sorta ignoring me on the topic of my finished web project. I turned it in 3 weeks ago, received a list of things to fix 2 weeks ago, comleted the task in 2 more days and since then it's been just radio silence. I ask occasionally and get responses like "yea I'll write you back when I check" and "yea I'll contact you later this week" (they didn't). How do I compose a formal-looking request, while being respectful and not too cold/demanding?

Is there any reason for being in a hurry?

>>234605 Not necessarily. But it's borderline insulting how they just ignore me and brush me off without giving any info at all. Plus, I feel like this might be some sort of a test, so I want them to know that I do care for my job and my project. Thus, I want to convey all of the above in an email, while still not coming off as some impatient asshole.

He probably doesn't have they money/you have him the project and no he doesn't want to pay. As an artist or webdeveloper you should always get minimum 50% of the money first. As soon there is a contract of sale done (doesn't have to be a formal document, can be him saying he wants it for that and that money and you say yes) there are ways to get your money. You can send him a paper where you write that you want the money within 10 days. And then you send it with registered mail

>>234623 so he really gets it. When he doesn't give you the money you can do stuff. Like go to a Government agency which is for 'seller rights'(like the consumer rights one) or lawyer up. You can also Google what to do and what possibilities you have in your specifical country. But if you live in Europe its easy. You could also ask for a free advisory talk with lawyer and then let him write the formal document. Or you Google on how such a formal document looks and use it as a

>>234623 Well, that's probably something that I would've done. However, this does seem like the "cold" professional way of doing things, and I'd like to keep a more positive image, *while* still being concrete and concise with what I want of them (which is any info at all on the state of the project). Especially since it really isn't an emergency yet and I'd prefer to not potentially sour my relationship with them. Maybe that's a bit too naive, but eh, there'll be time for more
