Ask a professor for a 3-day extension

Your final paper is due Friday and you need until Monday — for real reasons. Brief an AI to write the email that gets a yes.

Difficulty: Starter · Genre: Negotiate

The scenario

Course: senior seminar, professor is fair but firm.
Reason: family emergency mid-week, not a 'I procrastinated' situation.
You: A-/B+ student, no past extensions.
What you need: 3 days, no penalty.

The goal

An AI should write a 5-line email: the ask up top, the reason in one sentence, your track record, the new deadline, and a thank-you.

What a strong brief covers

Should include: the exact extension length, the brief honest reason, your reliability, the proposed deadline, and a tone that's adult, not begging.
