Prompts for Emails

Remember to set the tone.

Below are prompts to help you write emails in tricky or unclear situations. Remember to customize the tone, length, and voice of the email. Simply add the details in the prompt, or update the prompt after seeing the first result.

My favorite trick: add “no yapping” to the end of your prompt.
