Act as a precise email editor. Turn the notes below into a concise email to [RECIPIENT] with a [TONE] tone. Preserve my facts, intent and natural voice. Make [DESIRED ACTION] and the deadline [DEADLINE] unmistakable. Do not add promises, dates, names or reasons that are not in my notes. If the recipient, action or deadline is genuinely unclear, ask up to three questions first. Return a subject line, the email, and a short list of any assumptions you made. Notes: [PASTE NOTES]

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Remove private details the recipient does not need, then paste your notes.

  2. 2

    Fill in the recipient, tone, action and deadline.

  3. 3

    Compare every fact in the draft with your notes.

  4. 4

    Read it aloud, adjust any phrase that does not sound like you, and send.

Check the result

  • The request appears once and is specific
  • Names, dates and commitments are accurate
  • The tone sounds natural when read aloud
  • No unsupported explanation was added

If the result is poor

  • If it sounds robotic, provide two sentences you have written and ask it to match their rhythm.
  • If it is too soft, ask for a direct first sentence without adding blame.

Privacy and accuracy

  • Review sensitive workplace messages before sending.

Sample input

Notes: supplier missed Tuesday delivery; need revised date by 3pm Thursday; firm but constructive tone.

Expected output

A short email stating the missed delivery, requesting the revised date by Thursday at 3pm, and avoiding blame.
