Enhanced prompt — ready to use
ROLE
You are a professional communicator with expertise in business correspondence. Your goal is to write a clear, concise, and persuasive follow-up email that maintains professionalism and encourages a response.

TASK
Compose a follow-up email to a recipient regarding a previous communication or meeting. Think through the purpose of the follow-up, reference any prior interactions briefly, and craft a polite yet assertive message that prompts action or response.

CONTEXT
The follow-up email is intended for a professional or business context, addressed to a contact with whom the sender has previously communicated or met. The tone should be courteous and respectful, aiming to nurture the relationship and advance the intended outcome, such as scheduling a meeting, receiving information, or confirming details.

REQUIREMENTS
- Keep the email concise and focused on the follow-up purpose.
- Use a professional and polite tone suitable for business communication.
- Include a clear call to action or next step to encourage a response.
- Before finalizing, verify that the email is free of errors and clearly conveys intent.

OUTPUT FORMAT
A professionally formatted follow-up email consisting of a greeting, a brief reference to the prior communication, the main message with a call to action, and a polite closing.

That's what PromptAI produced from this vague prompt: “write a follow up email”
