Insight 7 of 12
Your sent emails show the choices that define your voice
To draft like you, the assistant needs evidence of how you write, and your sent follow-ups already contain it. Your sent emails show your writing choices: the greeting, the length, how you explain things, and the final request. Emails about routine calls, delayed projects, and unresolved decisions show how those choices change with the situation. Use most of them to describe your style, and hold back a few for checking that description.
Ask the assistant to propose a style reference: a short list of your writing habits, each backed by quotes from your emails. A pattern in old emails is a proposal for your future voice. Keep it, limit it to certain situations, or choose a different approach. Then compare the reference with the held-back emails, add any preference they miss, and approve it before it goes into the .
