Drafting a Message
The idea
Drafting an email or message combines the prompt elements with the method's grounding, and the course's version of the pattern has five steps.
In practice
Step one: instruction: draft a reply, an announcement or a request, and say which. Step two: context: who will read it, the relationship, and the outcome you want from it. Step three: input: paste the message you are answering, or the facts the message must contain. Step four: constraints: length, tone, and anything that must or must not be promised. Step five: output: ask for the draft plus a list of any statement in it that you should confirm before sending.
Where people slip
A draft message can make commitments. Read it as the recipient will, and remove anything you are not authorized to promise.
