The prompt

I’ve drafted a work email while angry and I shouldn’t send it yet. What I want to happen after they read it: . First ask me to paste the draft, with names and anything confidential removed. Then do three things. Tell me in one sentence what the reader would hear in my draft. Rewrite it so it is calm, specific and under 120 words, keeping my point and the facts, cutting blame and sarcasm, and ending with one clear request. Then show me the sentence in my original that would have cost me most. Don’t water down what I’m asking for.
