   Gentle bump on my email about the leave dates. A quick yes or no is fine if you're busy.

Examples

What to avoid

• Opening with “As per my last email” or “As I already said” sounds like blame.
• A bare “Reminder” or “Bump” with no context may leave the reader unsure what you mean.
• A vague deadline helps no one, so name a day or time and say why it matters.
• Sending several nudges within hours feels like pressure, so leave a reasonable gap and then try another channel.
• Copying the person's manager on the first follow-up escalates things too early.
