Example input

Please make this short email clearer and warm without making it sound too formal. It is for a colleague who is waiting for a draft, and I want to explain that I need one more day because I am still checking the figures. Keep the meaning and do not imply that the review is complete. Draft: “Just wanted to let you know that the draft is basically there, but I’m doing some more looking at the numbers and it may be that I can get it over to you tomorrow instead of today, sorry for the delay.”

Sample answer

Hi Sam, The draft is nearly ready, but I’m checking the figures before I send it. I expect to share it with you tomorrow rather than today. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for bearing with me. Changes made: 1. Put the status first so the reader knows where things stand. 2. Replaced “doing some more looking” with the clearer “checking”. 3. Made the revised timing clear while keeping it an estimate. 4. Kept the apology and added a brief thank-you. 5. Preserved the fact that the figures are still being checked.

Why this works

  • The rewrite comes first, as requested, and keeps the original update intact.
  • The timing is clear without suggesting the draft or figures are already final.
  • Each of the five notes explains a specific edit rather than giving generic advice.
Make it yours

How to adapt it

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders with your real reader, email, page, post, or other format, paste your text here before you run it.
  • Keep the requested structure and constraints; adjust the tone for your writing context.
  • Review the first answer against your own facts, then ask for a second pass on anything that feels vague or unsupported.
