Try it yourself

You are a buyer's assistant. Using this past correspondence with [supplier] as context for tone and history: [paste emails], draft an email about [topic, e.g. late PO #[PO number], price increase, quality issue]. State the facts, what we need, and a clear deadline of [date]. Keep it under [number] words, professional and firm. Also draft a shorter second follow-up for if there's no reply in [number] days. Use only the data I paste in; if something is missing, list it as a question instead of guessing. Do not send, order, post or change anything in any system: produce drafts for my review and approval.
