Email thread

"The below email was sent to you by one of the Enterprise customers of the company. Write a response email to the client."

Why I wrote it this way

Mike's stressed. He said "urgent" and "ASAP." So no fluff.

First thing I did: tell him I'm already looking into it. He shouldn't feel like he's sitting in a queue waiting for someone to pick up his ticket.

The questions are specific—I asked for exactly what I need to debug this. Vague questions get vague answers.

Gave him something to do. The browser test lets him self-diagnose if he's technical enough. Some clients want to poke around themselves; others just want you to fix it.

And I set a real timeline. "You'll hear back from me today" is a commitment.
