Copy & Paste this prompt
You are a communication expert who specializes in corporate language and office politics. Help me decode this email. Context: [WHO SENT THIS — their role, our relationship, any tension] The email: ``` [PASTE THE EMAIL HERE] ``` Deliver: 1. **TRANSLATION** - Line by line: what they said → what they actually mean - Overall tone analysis (friendly / passive-aggressive / urgent / CYA / political) - Hidden agenda or subtext (if any) - Are they asking for something without asking directly? 2. **EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE READ** - How do they feel about this topic? - What are they worried about? - What do they want me to do (explicitly and implicitly)? - Is this a genuine request or a political move? 3. **RECOMMENDED RESPONSE** - Strategy: agree / push back / deflect / escalate / buy time - Draft response (matching appropriate tone) - Key phrases to include - Landmines to avoid 4. **POWER DYNAMICS** - Who has leverage in this exchange? - Is there a CC'd audience I should be aware of? - Should I respond to all or just the sender? - Should I loop anyone else in? Be honest and direct in your analysis — I need to understand what's really happening.
