Act as a professional billing administrator. Draft a 3-part late payment email sequence based on this project data:
- Client Contact: [Client Name]
- Invoice Number: [Invoice #1042]
- Invoice Amount: [$2,500]

Requirements for the sequence:
- Email 1 (7 Days Overdue): Polite and conversational. Assume a simple oversight, confirm receipt of the invoice, and offer invoice re-send.
- Email 2 (14 Days Overdue): Direct and professional. Request a payment update, highlight payment options, and ask for confirmation of invoice status.
- Email 3 (30 Days Overdue): Firm yet respectful. State that active work will pause and late fees may apply, providing a final link to pay immediately.
Keep the tone professional and clean, avoiding aggressive or accusing phrasing.
