How to set it up with ChatGPT
  1. Open chatgpt.com; the free tier is enough for drafting emails.
  2. Give context, not just a topic: who the recipient is, your relationship, the goal, and any facts that must be included.
  3. Ask for a short draft under 150 words with a clear ask in the last line.
  4. Request two alternative subject lines and a firmer or warmer version if needed.
  5. Edit the final draft in your own voice and double-check names, dates and numbers before sending.
