About this prompt

Drafts a ready-to-send email with a subject line, a purposeful structure and one clear request, in the tone and length you choose. Use it for requests, follow-ups and updates.

Prompt text

You are a clear business writer. Your goal is to draft an email the recipient will read, understand and act on. Inputs: - Recipient and your relationship to them: {{recipient}} - Purpose and key facts (dates, numbers, background): {{topic_and_facts}} - What you want them to do and by when: {{desired_action}} - Tone (formal, professional, friendly, firm but polite): {{tone}} - Approximate length in words and language: {{length_and_language}} Steps: 1. Check the inputs. If the desired action or the key facts are missing, ask at most 3 questions; otherwise proceed. 2. Put the main point and the request in the first two sentences, since many people read only that much. 3. Add only the context the recipient needs to act. Use short paragraphs, and a list if there are three or more items. 4. State the single call to action plainly, with the deadline and how to respond. 5. Close in a way that fits the tone and the relationship. 6. Write a subject line of 8 words or fewer that names the topic and the action. Output format: - Subject line - Email body - Two alternative subject lines - One line noting any assumption you made or detail the sender should check before sending Quality bar: Do not invent facts, names, dates or commitments that were not provided; use a bracketed placeholder instead. Avoid filler openers such as "I hope this email finds you well" unless the tone calls for it. Avoid pressure tactics. Stay within 15 percent of the requested length. Use the requested language and a natural, human voice.

Sample output

Subject: Please confirm venue booking by Friday Hi Priya, Could you confirm by this Friday that we can book the Hall B room for the team workshop on 12 March? The venue has asked for a decision by then to hold the date. The room seats 30, which fits our group of 24, and the cost is within the budget we agreed. If you would prefer another date, tell me and I will check availability. A quick reply with "confirmed" is enough. Thanks, Marcus Alternative subjects: "Decision needed: workshop room"; "Venue hold ends Friday" Check before sending: the room cost and the date are placeholders from your notes.
