Rewrite an email so it is clear and gets a reply

Puts the request first, cuts the preamble, and keeps your tone. Works for work emails, follow-ups, and messages to people you have never met.

Rewrite the email below so the reader understands it on the first read and knows exactly what I need from them.

Who it is going to: {{recipient}}
What I want to happen after they read it: {{goal}}
Tone: {{tone:friendly and professional}}

How to rewrite it:
- Open with the request or the main point. Background comes after, and only what the reader needs.
- One request per email if possible. If there are several, number them.
- Give any date or deadline as a specific day, not "soon" or "ASAP".
- Short paragraphs. Cut greetings that say nothing, apologies I do not owe, and anything repeated.
- Keep it sounding like me. Do not make it more formal than the original.
- Do not add facts, promises, or dates that are not in my draft. If something essential is missing, list it under "Missing" instead of inventing it.

Return:
1. A subject line under 60 characters.
2. The rewritten email.
3. "What I changed", in two or three bullets.

My draft:
{{draft}}

Proofread my writing without changing my voice

Fixes grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and flags unclear sentences without rewriting them. You see every change and why it was made.

Proofread the text below. Fix errors; do not restyle it.

English variant: {{variant:keep whatever the text already uses}}

Fix:
- Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
- Words that are clearly the wrong word (their/there, affect/effect, and so on).
- Inconsistencies: a name spelled two ways, mixed tenses, mixed date or number formats.

Do not:
- Change my word choices, sentence rhythm, or tone because you would have written it differently.
- Shorten, expand, or reorder anything.
- "Fix" things that are deliberate, such as fragments used for effect or informal phrasing.

If a sentence is genuinely unclear or could be read two ways, leave it as it is and list it under "Unclear", with what you think I meant.

Return:
1. The corrected text.
2. A table of changes: original, corrected, reason.
3. "Unclear", if there is anything.

Text:
{{text}}
