“What do you think about this report? Can you help me with some ideas for the presentation?”✅ Clear and Direct:

“Update the client on the delay we discussed.”✅ Provides Context:
“Draft an email to our software client explaining that the project will be delayed by 2 weeks due to integration issues. Use a professional, solution-focused tone.”

Don't Use Vague Descriptors
Don't Skip Important Details
