Reframe a Passive Aggressive Neighbour Email Into Something Constructive
The draft is dripping with sarcasm about the bins again and you know, deep down, that sending it makes things worse, not better. This finds the actual issue under the sarcasm, rewrites the message so it states the point plainly, and suggests one practical next step so the thing actually gets resolved.
