Prompt

Adjust the tone of this email while preserving what it actually needs to say. Desired tone: [WARMER / FIRMER / MORE CONCISE / MORE FORMAL / MORE FRIENDLY / OTHER] Relationship/context: [WHO THE RECIPIENT IS AND ANY RELEVANT CONTEXT] Before rewriting, identify any sentence where changing the tone could accidentally change the meaning, commitment or level of urgency. Then rewrite the email so that: - the facts, dates, requests and commitments stay unchanged; - the new tone is noticeable but natural; - it does not become vague just to sound polite; - it avoids inflated corporate language; - it does not add apologies, threats, promises or emotional language I did not ask for. After the rewrite, list the 2 or 3 most important tone changes you made. Email: [PASTE EMAIL]
