The ask

Sent verbatim as the prompt. The agent works in a copy of the workspace below and sees nothing else.

Nadia's out, so please write this month's past-due payment reminders from the open invoice export - one file per customer in a reminders folder. Her guidelines are in the folder, and Dale's email has a couple of notes.
