About this exercise
Write a Slack message to the legal team in plain text with exactly 4 lines starting Ask:, Deal:, Redlines:, Need by:. Ask is one request to review the customer's changes. Redlines lists the clause numbers only (no opinions or interpretations). Need by gives the day and date. No emoji, no "quick", under 55 words.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

- Vague deadline. The AI writes 'soon'. Try: Add: "Need by: day and date."
- Chatty message. The AI adds greetings and emoji. Try: Add: "Four labeled lines, no emoji, no quick."
