My Message to You:

Hi Bob,
We all feel obligated to reply to messages, yet the time it takes to type a personalized reply to hundreds of emails. I’m trying out a new e-mail method which involves including a draft of what you’d anticipate the recipient’s reply to be. By including a short draft of the person’s reply, and possibly options to choose from. It dramatically improves the recipient’s effectiveness.
