How it sounds
Hi [Name] — following up on my last note in case it got buried. If timing changed or you need anything from me, just let me know, but even a quick update would help me know where this stands.
Next step
Invite a decision, timing update, or graceful close instead of just asking if they saw your message.
These are the real wording patterns this scenario is built to handle.
