Subject: should I close your file?

Hi [First name],

I have reached out a few times about [problem] and have not heard back, which usually means one of three things:

1. It is just not a priority right now.
2. It is a priority, but the timing is bad.
3. I am annoying you, in which case I apologize.

A one-line reply with 1, 2, or 3 tells me everything I need. If I do not hear back, I will assume it is number 1 and stop here, no hard feelings.

Thanks for your time, [First name].

[Your name]
