What You'll Get
Two email drafts at different levels of directness for communicating bad news, scope changes, or deadline slips, so you can pick the tone that fits the relationship.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Write a professional client email for this situation: [describe what happened]. Client is [describe their personality]. I need to [goal — apologize, explain, negotiate]. Tone: professional and accountable. Give me 2 versions: one softer, one more direct.
Tips
The more you share about the client relationship and history, the better the tone calibration. Never send without reading every line. The AI tends to over-apologize or miss political nuances you'd catch immediately.
