“Act as a professional business communication coach for trades. I need to notify a client about a delay on their electrical project. Here are the details: [describe the project briefly, e.g., 'rewiring a two-story residential addition'], the reason for the delay [e.g., 'inspector rescheduled, electrical panel delivery delayed 10 days, weather stopped outdoor work'], the original timeline [e.g., 'completion by June 15'], and the new expected completion date [e.g., 'now June 28']. Write a clear, professional email that explains the situation honestly, reassures the client we're staying on top of it, gives the new timeline, and invites them to reach out with questions. Keep the tone respectful and confident, not defensive.”
