Make this more direct
A draft so softened that the reader could reasonably ignore it.
Make this direct. Remove every hedge, apology and conditional that quietly invites a no.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Tone check. Reading a draft back before you send it: too cold, too soft, too annoyed.
