☕ You can read this article in about 1-2 minutes.

Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work.
This is Kanamin, taking a break at a cafe☕ on my way home today.

Last year, I spent six months editing an internal AI promotion newsletter.

Based on that experience, I am writing little by little about practical applications that even AI beginners🔰 can easily try.

■ Replying with a polite refusal

When you are working,

"I'd like you to handle this if possible."
"Could you do this just this once?"

Sometimes you receive requests like these.

But,
it's not possible due to company rules.
It's difficult due to your schedule.

We all have times like that.

When you need to decline, but
you worry about how to phrase it.

At times like that, I

first give the AI

・Request details

・Reason why you cannot fulfill it

・Relationship with the recipient

・Soft tone

in a bulleted list.

Then,
you don't have to think about the refusal text from scratch,
so it makes you feel a little more at ease.

For example, it looks like this.

What is important here is

not "the refusal itself,"

but separating consideration for the other party

from the facts.

AI is like
a tool that helps you organize those thoughts.

🦉 Memor's Points

When you're struggling with an email to decline a request, try organizing these points first:

✔ Your relationship with the recipient

✔ The reason you cannot fulfill the request

✔ How softly you want to convey the message

Try organizing these first.

⚠ Things I am careful about when using AI for work

・Follow company AI usage rules
・Do not input personal or confidential information
・Do not use AI output as-is;
　always double-check it at the end
・Verify that the reasons and conditions for declining are accurate

🌱 Today's Step

When you're struggling with an email to decline a request, first try listing the reasons why you cannot fulfill it in bullet points.

🦉 Next time, I will organize "Reporting Emails to Supervisors." (Scheduled to be updated every Wednesday)
