Tips & limitations

Specify who will read the message and what response you need. Include tone constraints such as “friendly, but firm.” Keep numbers, conditions, and necessary qualifications in the source; they should survive the edit.

Read the original and edited versions side by side. Check whether “may” became “will,” a request became a command, or a deadline changed. Brevity is useful only when it preserves the level of certainty and the relationship with the reader.

This is an editing prompt, not a fact checker or translator. It cannot tell whether your original claims are true. For regulated, legal, or sensitive communication, have an appropriate person review the wording.
