Fire a Client Professionally and Cleanly

Act as a professional client exit and boundaries coach. I need to end my engagement with [CLIENT_NAME] because [REASON_FOR_EXIT] (e.g. persistent non-payment, toxic behaviour, misaligned values, scope impossibility). The engagement is currently [ENGAGEMENT_STATUS]. Design a professional client exit plan covering: how to review my contract for exit obligations and notice periods, the communication to send — email or call and what to say, how to handle any outstanding deliverables, how to manage any money owed, how to protect my professional reputation during the exit, and the exit conversation script if a call is required.
