Draft Email

Write professional emails with proper context gathering before drafting.

Before Writing — Always Ask:

1. Who is the recipient? (name, role, relationship)
2. What platform/channel? (Gmail, AgentMail, Lemlist, LinkedIn DM)
3. What's the goal? (cold outreach, follow-up, partnership, support, invoice)
4. What tone? (formal, casual, direct, warm)
5. Product positioning? (if sales-related — what angle to lead with)

Do NOT assume the platform unless stated. Do NOT assume the product angle — ask.

Drafting Rules

• Never send directly — always show draft for user approval first
• Auto-CC the user's own primary address when sending from a dedicated outbound inbox (e.g. AgentMail), so the user gets a copy of every outbound
• Run through a humanizer pass before finalizing — no em dashes, no "I hope this finds you well"-style filler, no Rule of Three padding, vary sentence length
• Match the customer's language (FR/EN) — never write in pidgin/Darija even when the customer does, unless explicitly asked

For Cold Outreach Specifically

• Pair with a structured cold-email skill for sequence design (subject → opener → 1-line body → CTA)
• Lead with the outcome the buyer cares about, not the product feature
• Skip vanity metrics in the opener; specifics > superlatives
• Always check past outreach learnings (which subject lines/openers got replies in this audience) before drafting fresh
