Long emails get skipped.
Vague emails get misunderstood.
But a well-structured, brief email?
That gets remembered.
💡 Here’s what your TL;DR email should do:
✅ Show you’re invested
✅ Be short enough to respect their time
✅ Make it easy to scan, understand, and respond
✍️ Format to Try:
1. Clear subject line
– Not cute. Not mysterious. Just specific.
2. Quick context in 1–2 lines
– Why are you writing? What’s the situation?
3. Bullet points or bolded key lines
– Help the reader get what they need fast.
4. One simple call-to-action
– Make it obvious what happens next.
🧠 Why this works:
You’re not just writing.
You’re managing energy, focus, and next steps—for both of you.
This is emotional intelligence in email form.
And yes, it gets noticed.
⚡ Pro Tip: Use ChatGPT to draft, refine, or rephrase.
It’s one of the most powerful tools for writing emails that are:
Crisp
Professional
To the point (without losing warmth)
Let it handle the structure—then you add the human touch.
Your daily email is your brand.
✨ Make it clear. Make it kind. Make it count. Here’s an Example:
Subject: Updated Sales Spreadsheet – Quick Review Needed
Hi Marco,
Hope you’re having a good morning! I made a few adjustments to the Q2 sales spreadsheet based on our last team call.
Summary of changes:
1. Corrected column totals for April and May
2. Added a new tab for client follow-ups
3. Updated color coding for clarity
Could you please:
✅ Double-check the April client data (tab 1, rows 14–32)
✅ Confirm the new formatting works for you

Let me know if you spot anything off—I want to finalize it by tomorrow.
Thanks so much!
