What should I include in my abandoned cart emails to convince people to come back?

I'm struggling to create abandoned cart emails that actually convert. My current emails feel generic and ineffective, and I'm seeing low return rates from potential customers who left items in their cart. I need a strategic approach that goes beyond just reminding customers about their unpurchased items. What specific elements, psychological triggers, and content strategies can I use to craft abandoned cart emails that genuinely motivate customers to complete their purchase?
