Apologize for missing a client deadline
You shipped 4 days late and your client is annoyed. Brief an AI to write the recovery email — own it without grovelling.
Difficulty: Intermediate · Genre: Email
The scenario
Client: small marketing agency, second project together. You: solo freelancer, hit by an unexpected family thing mid-project. Late by: 4 days. The work itself: actually solid.
The goal
An AI should write a 5-7-line email that owns the slip in one short sentence, names what changed, and points to the strong deliverable — without listing excuses.
What a strong brief covers
Should specify: the slip in one line, the cause without overshare, the deliverable's strengths, a future-proofing note, and a warm closer.
