```text
I'm upset, and I've written a draft email to [WHO IT'S TO, e.g. a client, colleague or vendor] about [THE SITUATION, e.g. an invoice that's 60 days late]. Here's my draft, as angry as it is: [YOUR ANGRY DRAFT]

What I actually want to happen: [WHAT YOU WANT, e.g. get paid and keep the client]

Please:
1. Tell me honestly how my draft is likely to land, and which lines could backfire.
2. Point out any assumptions I'm making that might not be true, and what I could ask instead.
3. Rewrite it so it's calm, firm, and professional. Keep every legitimate point, cut the heat, and make my request crystal clear.
4. Give me a softer version and a firmer version so I can choose.
5. Suggest a neutral subject line.
Keep it shorter than my draft.
