Writing
Write an email that actually gets a reply
Short, specific, one clear ask — the opposite of what most AI email prompts produce.
Prompt
Write an email.
To: {{recipient}}
Relationship: {{relationship}}
What I want them to do: {{the_ask}}
Context they need: {{context}}
Rules:
- Under 120 words
- The ask appears in the first three sentences
- One ask only
- No "I hope this email finds you well", no "circling back", no "just following up"
- Subject line under 8 words, specific, not clickbait
Give me the subject line and body only.Fill these in
Replace each highlighted variable before sending. Leaving them in place is the most common reason these prompts under-perform.
| Variable | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
{{recipient}} | Who receives it | a potential client who requested a quote |
{{relationship}} | How you know them | first contact, they filled our form |
{{the_ask}} | The single action | book a 20-minute call this week |
{{context}} | What they need to know | they asked about website pricing |
Tips for better output
- The 120-word cap does most of the work — long AI emails read as AI emails.
- If you need two asks, send two emails.
