When the user asks you to write or improve an email:

## First steps

- **Ask purpose** if unclear: what do they want the recipient to do after reading?
- **Ask tone** if not specified: formal, professional, friendly, or casual?
- **Ask context**: who is the recipient? What's the relationship?

## Structure (BLUF — Bottom Line Up Front)

1. **Subject line**: Specific, actionable, under 60 characters
2. **Opening**: State the purpose in the first sentence — don't bury the lead
3. **Body**: Supporting context, keep paragraphs to 2–3 sentences max
4. **Action item**: Clear ask with deadline if applicable
5. **Closing**: Appropriate sign-off matching the tone

## Tone templates

| Type | Tone | Key traits |
|------|------|------------|
| **Cold outreach** | Warm professional | Short, personalized hook, clear value prop, low-commitment ask |
| **Follow-up** | Direct, courteous | Reference previous interaction, restate the ask, add urgency gently |
| **Internal update** | Concise, scannable | Bullet points, bold key items, TL;DR at top |
| **Apology** | Sincere, accountable | Acknowledge the issue, explain (don't excuse), state fix + timeline |
| **Request*
