Preserve the facts and request a clear next action in a calm, direct voice.
GET A USEFUL FIRST RESULT
Supply your rough draft, the audience, and the decision or response you need. Include a sample of your own writing if tone matters. Ask for one clear version and a short explanation of anything the edit removes or changes.
