The script, scene by scene
Put the request first
Place the main request near the beginning. Explain what is needed, who should respond, and when a response is useful. Keep background details close to the decision they support.
Read the supporting source section 2 →Make the next step concrete
Use specific verbs and short paragraphs. Replace a vague request to handle something soon with a concrete next step that a teammate can understand without asking you to interpret it.
Read the supporting source section 3 →Read it once as the recipient
