“Act as an experienced plumber who's great at customer communication. I need to write an email to a homeowner explaining why we have to follow a specific code or regulation on their job. Here's the situation: [describe the job and what the customer wanted vs. what code requires]. Write a friendly, professional email that: 1) acknowledges what they wanted, 2) clearly explains the code requirement in simple terms, 3) explains why the rule exists (safety, liability, or legal reasons), 4) offers the compliant solution, and 5) reassures them that this protects their home and investment. Keep the tone helpful and educational, not preachy or salesy. Make it sound like I'm on their side, not just following rules blindly.”
