Prompt

Context you provide

  • {{equipment}}: The specific equipment requiring service.
  • {{urgency}}: Whether the request is routine or urgent.
  • {{specifics}}: Any details like preferred dates, location, or prior issues.
  • {{goal}}: The outcome you want (e.g., schedule, quote, status update).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before drafting.
  2. Draft a concise, professional message tailored to the urgency and goal.
  3. Include a clear subject line, a polite opening, specific equipment details, and a direct request for the needed information (dates, quote, completion time).
  4. Add a closing that invites a timely response and offers further clarification.
  5. If requested, provide a checklist of questions for a vendor meeting.

Output format Provide the drafted message in a copy-paste ready format, followed by a brief summary of key points covered. Tone: professional, courteous, and direct.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent contact names, dates, or service terms.
  • Flag any assumptions about vendor capabilities or pricing.
  • Stay focused on the communication task; do not expand into broader maintenance strategy unless asked.
