Small changes for everyday conversations
Send me an update on the invoice.
Hi, could you send me an update on the invoice? Thank you.
A courteous question gives the reader a clear action without assuming why the invoice is missing.
You need to send the changes by three today.
Could you send the changes by three today? Thank you.
The request becomes warmer while the deadline stays explicit.
I can’t join the call tomorrow.
Thanks for inviting me. I won’t be able to join the call tomorrow.
The answer stays clear. It does not add a promise to reschedule.
Match the warmth to the relationship
A familiar teammate
Keep it brief and natural. A small ‘could you’ may be enough; an extra paragraph of pleasantries can make a simple request harder to scan.
A new customer or colleague
Include a greeting, name the topic, and make the request clear. Check that the result does not imply a closer relationship than you have.
A boundary or disagreement
Preserve the decision, limitation, or deadline. Warm wording can acknowledge the other person without changing what you can offer.
Before you replace your message
Read the preview for the things that friendliness should preserve.
- The reader can still tell what you are asking, accepting, or declining.
- The same dates, amounts, and conditions appear in the revised version.
- There is no new apology, promise, or explanation that you would not choose yourself.
- The level of enthusiasm, familiarity, and formality feels right for this person.
- Any thanks or greeting adds warmth without hiding the useful part of the message.
Try a friendly rewrite in the conversation you are writing
Highlight your draft inside a supported Chrome or Safari writing field and choose Friendly. Compare the result, replace it when you are happy with the wording, or keep your original. A preview gives you room to make that decision before anything changes.
Friendly can process writing in many languages and aims to preserve the source language. Courtesy differs between languages and situations, so your judgment still matters. This tool rewrites wording; it does not know how your recipient feels or send the message for you.
