The prompt

Write a polite follow-up email for someone who hasn't replied to me. Who: [their role, e.g. a client, recruiter, vendor, professor] My first email was about: [summary], sent on: [date] What I need from them: [a decision, a document, a meeting time] Any deadline: [date and why it matters] This is follow-up number: [1 / 2 / final] Write: 1. A short follow-up (under 90 words) that restates the request in one line, makes it easy to answer (e.g. two options to pick from), and mentions the deadline if there is one. 2. A subject line that keeps the original thread or makes the ask clear. 3. For a final follow-up: a version that closes the loop politely, e.g. "I'll assume this isn't a priority right now". No guilt-tripping, no "just checking in" with nothing new, no passive-aggressive lines.
