• {{keyPoints}}: The specific information to include (e.g., recent developments, next steps, deadlines).
• {{tone}}: The desired tone (e.g., formal, empathetic, firm).

Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before drafting.
2. Structure the correspondence with a clear subject line, salutation, body, and closing.
3. Present the key points in a logical order: opening, context, details, action items, and next steps.
4. Use plain language, avoiding legal jargon where possible, and explain any necessary terms.
