Copy block

Write a follow-up email for me.

Context: [WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY ASKED OR SENT, AND WHEN]
Relationship: [STRANGER / ACQUAINTANCE / EXISTING CLIENT / FRIEND]
How many follow-ups so far: [NUMBER]
What I actually need: [THE OUTCOME YOU WANT]

Rules:
- Under 80 words
- Warm, not passive-aggressive — no "just circling back" or "per my last email"
- Give them an easy out ("if now's not the right time...")
- Make replying as easy as possible — ideally a yes/no question

Give me 2 options with slightly different energy levels.

Example scenario

A photographer with a few stalled client threads could use this to write warm follow-ups that make replying easy.

Recommended for

  • Freelancers
  • Sales and service roles
  • Anyone waiting on a reply
