It depends on what the relationship is like with the recipient. If you are fairly friendly you can be less formal.

Assuming you include the e-mail you are referring to in some way, you might say:

Have you had a chance to look at this yet?

This informally conveys the sense that you know how busy they are.

For a more formal version you would probably want to write it as a full e-mail:

John/Sir/Whatever you'd normally say

I was wondering if you have had a chance to look at the e-mail below yet? [Give a reason] Our customer enquired about it earlier today.

Many thanks,

Bob

I would not use a question mark; it implies impatience, frustration etc. I would say Just a quick reminder about your ___; thank you very much.
