Examples of requests for office work
The fastest way to learn Chetty is to copy a request that already works and change the names. Below are the ones colleagues use most; the names and dates are made up.
How to use the examples
Write the request into the message field and send it. Where the example mentions a file, attach it to the message first with Attach a file. Change the names, dates and amounts to your own.
Write and edit
- "Write a short formal e-mail to Mrs Nováková: we have to move Thursday's meeting to next week. Offer two possible times."
- "Write a reply to this e-mail. Decline the date politely and suggest 12 November instead."
- "Check the attached letter for spelling and clarity. Show me each change and why."
- "Rewrite this paragraph so that anybody can understand it, and keep every number."
Summarize and compare
- "Summarize the attached minutes into five points and add what has to be done by when."
- "Read the attached contract and list every deadline and amount."
- "Compare the two attached versions of the document and tell me what changed."
Translate and explain
- "Translate this paragraph into English and keep the formal tone."
- "Explain this paragraph of the notice in plain words, as if to a new colleague."
Tables and lists
- "Turn the attached list of applications into a table: name, date received, status."
- "Make a checklist of everything I need for a building permit."
- "Split the attached task list into what must be done this week and what can wait."
Reminders and planning
- "Remind me on Friday at 9 that I have to send the application."
- "Write three versions of an invitation to the training, each five sentences at most."
What to check
Chetty can be wrong, and it can fill a gap with an invented detail. Read every number, name, date and quotation against the source before you send anything. A letter, an invoice or a decision is always yours to sign.
