Context you provide

  • {{vendor_name}} – the name of the software vendor.
  • {{communication_type}} – the purpose (e.g., renewal inquiry, compliance issue, negotiation, documentation request).
  • {{key_details}} – specific details to include (e.g., contract number, dates, issues).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Draft a professional email or message tailored to the communication type.
  3. Ensure the tone is respectful and collaborative, while clearly stating the purpose.
  4. Include all necessary details and a clear call to action.
  5. Suggest any attachments or documentation to include.

Output format Provide the drafted communication in a clear, ready-to-send format. Use a professional tone. Include a subject line and a closing. Keep it concise and to the point.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific contract terms; use placeholders for unknown details.
  • Avoid aggressive or confrontational language.
