Rewrite long emails so the request comes first
Paste your draft and ask the AI to put what you need, and by when, in the first line. Busy readers act on it faster.
Make this email shorter.
Rewrite my email below so the request is in the very first sentence, including the deadline. The request: I need the team leads to send me their headcount numbers for next year's plan by Friday. After the first sentence, keep only the background they need to answer. Cut anything else. Under 120 words. [paste your draft]
Why it works
Long emails often save the request for the end, and busy readers may never get there. Putting the ask and the deadline first means anyone who reads one line still knows what to do. Telling the AI exactly what the request is keeps it from guessing which part of your draft matters most.

Add a subject line
Also write a subject line that includes the request and the deadline, under ten words.
