Use this prompt to draft a friendly, professional nudge that assumes good intent, makes it easy for them to respond, and keeps the project on track without damaging the relationship.

“Act as a workplace communication coach. I need to follow up with a colleague who hasn't responded to my request. Help me write a brief, friendly email that: (1) reminds them what I need without sounding frustrated, (2) assumes they're just busy and gives them an easy out if priorities have changed, (3) offers a simple next step or deadline, and (4) keeps the tone warm and collaborative. Here's the context: [describe what you asked for, when you asked, and why you need it]. Write the email in 4-5 sentences maximum.”
