Final Check-In (Before the Breakup)

The touch before the breakup email. Names a soft deadline and the consequence of continued silence — you'll stop reaching out — while staying entirely friendly.

Subject

Should I keep this open?

Hi [First Name],

Quick and honest one: I have [topic — e.g., "the pilot proposal"] sitting open on my side, and I'd rather close it deliberately than let it fade.

If you want to keep it alive, any reply by [date] works — even "need more time."

If I don't hear from you by then, I'll assume priorities shifted and close it out. No hard feelings either way.

Best, [Your Name]

Deadlines only work when you actually track them. FollowClose keeps every touch on schedule and pauses the sequence the moment a reply lands.
