What it protects
Prompt a concrete timing update or decision without sounding impatient.
How it sounds
Hi [Name] — just checking back on the proposal you were reviewing internally. If it helps, I can answer any questions or adjust around timing, but even a quick update on where this stands would help me plan next steps on my side.
Next step
Offer an easy yes, no, or timing-update path so the client does not need to write a long explanation.
These are the real wording patterns this scenario is built to handle.

Concise
Just checking in on this in case it is still active on your side. If it would help, I'm happy to answer any open questions or outline the cleanest next step.
Best for: Use when you need a short reply that keeps the thread moving.
Warm
Wanted to circle back in case this is still under review. If timing changed on your side, no problem. If it is still live, I can help you decide on the next step.
Best for: Use when you want to preserve trust while still keeping the boundary clear.
Firm
Acknowledge that internal review can take time, then ask a focused question that helps the client close the loop. If the client wants a different path, make the tradeoff explicit before you continue.
Best for: Use when the client is repeating the pressure or treating the boundary as optional.
Acknowledge that internal review can take time, then ask a focused question that helps the client close the loop.
Use a softer tone when the client is still collaborative and the pressure looks like uncertainty rather than bad faith.
