What you need
Steps
Open the free ChatGPT app on your phone and start a new chat. The free version is enough for this, so you do not need to pay for anything.
Tell it the three parts of any email: who you are writing to and how you know them, what you want to happen, and the facts it must include.
Ask for the draft in plain words, for example: write a short email to my boss saying I am ill today and will not be in.
For a payment chase, give the invoice number, the amount and the date it was due, then ask for a firm but polite reminder.
When you ask a favour, say what you need, by when and why it matters, so the draft does not come out vague or demanding.
Paste a few lines you have written before and ask ChatGPT to match that tone, so the email sounds like you rather than a robot.
Ask it to cut the draft by half, then read it out loud to check it still says everything you need.
Check every name, date and amount before you send. ChatGPT will fill in details you never gave it and sound completely sure.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not paste passwords, bank details or other confidential information into the chat.
Shorter emails usually get answered faster, so cut anything that does not change the meaning.
If the draft sounds stiff, ask for a warmer or more formal version instead of editing it by hand.
Questions
Is the free ChatGPT app enough to write emails?
Yes. The free app on your phone handles every step here, including rewriting and shortening a draft. You only need an account to sign in.
Why does ChatGPT add names and dates I never gave it?
It fills gaps to make the email read naturally, and it sounds confident while doing it. Treat every name, date and amount as unchecked until you have read it yourself.
Can I make the email sound like my own writing?
Paste a couple of sentences you have written before and ask it to copy that tone. You can also ask for a warmer or more formal version until it reads like you.
