“Act as an experienced auto shop manager who maintains great supplier relationships. I need to write a parts return request email. Here are the details: - Part ordered: [e.g. front brake rotors for 2018 Honda Accord] - Part number I ordered: [your PO number] - What I received instead: [e.g. rear rotors, wrong diameter, damaged box] - Invoice or order number: [if you have it] - What I need: [replacement shipped, credit issued, return authorization] - Urgency: [customer waiting, not urgent, etc.] Write a professional email that clearly explains the issue, provides all necessary details, stays polite and solution-focused, and makes it easy for the supplier to process the return quickly. Keep the tone friendly but businesslike.”
