Draft an email in the exact tone you want
writing & editing
// what it does
Give ChatGPT the recipient, the goal, the key facts, and one or two tone dials (warm, firm, concise) and it drafts a send-ready email. Specifying tone and length up front is what separates a usable draft from a generic one; the same prompt handles a fresh email or a reply if you paste the thread.
// prompt
> Write a warm but concise email inviting a client to a project kickoff on [date]. Mention the agenda is attached and ask them to confirm attendance. Under 120 words, no exclamation marks.> Reply to the email below declining the meeting politely and proposing two alternative times next week. Keep my tone friendly and brief: [paste email]// gotcha
Left unguided, drafts drift long and over-formal. Cap the length ("under 120 words") and name the tone explicitly, then ask for two or three variants so you can pick rather than re-prompt.
