Before you draft a professional email
How formal should the email be?
Match the working relationship; a greeting, brief facts and a direct question are often enough.
Can I ask AI to make it sound angry?
Explain the impact and desired action instead; threats or exaggerated claims can make resolution harder.
Should I include the whole email chain?
Share only the relevant, permitted context and remove unrelated personal or commercial details.
