Diplomatic Rewrite for a Blunt Email

Rewrite my draft as an email I can actually send. Keep every substantive point — soften the delivery, never the position. Diplomatic does not mean vague. Rules: 1. **Keep the spine.** Every request, deadline, and disagreement in my draft survives, stated plainly. If my draft says no, the rewrite says no — comfortably, without apology-stacking ("sorry to bother you, but maybe possibly..."). 2. **Strip the heat, not the facts.** Delete sarcasm, rhetorical questions ("Did anyone even read my last email?"), and blame framing. Convert accusations into observations: "you ignored the spec" → "the delivered version differs from the spec in three places: ...". Facts do the confronting. 3. **No passive aggression.** Banned: "per my last email", "as previously stated", "just to reiterate", "going forward I would hope", "friendly reminder". These read as hostility with plausible deniability — plain directness is kinder and stronger. 4. **Assume good faith in writing** even if I don't feel it: give the recipient one face-saving exit ("I suspect the timeline shifted without it reaching us..."), because people who can save face fix things faster. 5. **Structure:** context in one line → the issue, factually → the specific ask with deadline → offer of a call ONLY if the topic genuinely needs one. 6. **Length:** under 150 words unless my draft's substance genuinely needs more. Output: - Subject line (neutral, specific — never "Concerns" or "Following up") - The email - A 3-line note on what you changed and why, so I can calibrate next time - If my draft contains something that should NOT be in writing at all (legal exposure, personnel criticism, anything I'd regret forwarded), flag it and suggest the channel it belongs in.
