Make a message more respectful without removing its request or limit. Use clear, calm wording for reminders, refusals, and difficult conversations.
How to use
Sign in and paste the message. Explain the relationship and the boundary to preserve in context. Check that the rewrite still states what you need.
Example
“Stop sending tasks at night” can become “Please send new tasks during working hours.” Keep any agreed working hours explicit.
FAQ
Does polite mean agreeing?
No. Keep a clear refusal or condition when it is part of your message. Remove language that accidentally offers permission.

A practical task
Identify the boundary before changing the tone. If a request cannot be accepted after Friday, keep that condition explicit. Courtesy can soften delivery without removing the deadline or suggesting an exception you cannot offer.
Another useful question
What if the draft apologizes too much?
Remove apologies that imply fault you do not accept. A respectful message can state a limit plainly and offer an alternative only when it is real.
Details for interpreting the result
| Detail | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Context and audience | The same fact needs different explanation for a specialist and a first time reader. State the audience, purpose, and terms they already know. Relevant context guides wording more effectively than broad requests to make a text impressive. |
| Tone and commitments | Tone changes the way a message sounds, not the obligations it contains. A friendly version must not invent permission, and a formal version must not invent a promise. Compare commitments as well as style. |
| Supplied facts | A writing request needs the facts the finished draft must preserve. Names, dates, quantities, and policies should come from your source. Missing information is a question to resolve rather than a blank to fill with a plausible invention. |
| A clear next action | A message should make the next action easy to identify: approve a choice, send a file, confirm a time, or answer a question. State the action directly and keep supporting background separate from the request. |
| The recipient's knowledge | A recipient cannot act on references they cannot identify. Replace an unexplained “that file” with a real document name and include the needed context. Omit background they already know when it does not help the decision. |
| Real deadlines | Give an exact date or time only when it is known and needed. Relative phrases such as next Friday can be ambiguous across timezones or a delayed reading. Keep the deadline consistent with the action the message requests. |
| Editorial review | Review facts, names, omissions, and implications before approving a draft. A smooth sentence can still change a condition or attribute a statement to the wrong person. Compare meaning with the source instead of judging fluency alone. |
