How to follow up after no response

The situation

You sent an important email a week ago and haven't heard back.

The goal

Follow up after silence without sounding needy or aggressive.

Draft (the wrong way)

Hey just checking in again since I haven't heard anything, not sure if you saw my email?

Parse-optimized draft

Circling back on my note from [date] about [topic]. I want to make sure it didn't get buried. If it's easier, a one-line yes/no on [specific question] is enough to keep things moving on my end — otherwise happy to hop on a quick call this week.
