What landed

Hi, following up on my note from last Tuesday.

Can you confirm whether the revised scope covers the second site visit, and whether that changes the fee?

Also, is Thursday still good for the call?

What comes back

Hi Marieke, apologies for the slow reply.

Yes, the revised scope includes the second site visit, and no, it does not change the fee. The visit was already inside the original allowance.

Thursday still works at 14:00. I will send the link tomorrow.

What landed What comes back

Worked example

In practice.

The email that came in

Thanks for the file. Two things.

The figures on page four do not match what we discussed on the call, unless I have misread them.

And could you send the signed engagement letter across, our compliance team is asking.

What the draft gets right

Both asks answeredA rushed reply almost always answers the second one and forgets the first
The disagreement namedIt does not smooth over the page four question, it addresses it
No promise you did not makeIt leaves the dates you did not give blank rather than inventing one
Register matchedThe incoming message sets the distance, the reply keeps it

The failure mode in a reply is not tone, it is dropping the first question. Two asks arrive, one gets answered, and the thread runs for another week.

The workflow

How it works.

STEP 01
Paste the email you got
The whole thing, including the part you were hoping to skip. That part is usually where the question is.
STEP 02
Add what only you know
Two words is enough. Yes to the visit, no to the fee change. The draft carries the facts, you supply them.
STEP 03
Read it once and send
It answers in the order asked, which is the thing a rushed human reply usually gets wrong.

Honest limits

Where it does not help.

It cannot answer for you

Anything only you know has to be typed in. Left out, it comes back as a gap rather than a guess.

It does not read attachments

If the question lives in the spreadsheet, paste the relevant part in with it.

Bad news still needs you

A draft can carry a decision. It cannot carry the call you should probably make instead.

Where the line sits

This page works on one paste.

Questions

Answered.

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no card, ten runs a day, and nothing you paste is stored.

Do I have to paste the whole thread?

You get a better reply if you do. Questions asked three messages up are the ones that go unanswered.

Will it invent a date or a figure?

It should not. Anything you have not supplied comes back as a blank for you to fill, which is the behaviour to check on your first run.

Can I change the tone?

Add the instruction with the paste. Warmer, shorter, firmer. It applies it to the reply rather than to the original.

Also free

Paste something in, get something back, no account. All eleven.
