Pro tip

Write the subject line last. Once the AI drafts the body, you will know which framing works best. Also: always include a "Questions?" section. Silence after announcements breeds anxiety.

Prompt Variants by Model

Claude Sonnet 5
Act as an internal communications specialist. Draft a company announcement.

Type [new hire / policy change / restructure / tool migration / win / reduction / benefit change / process update] · audience [whole company / team / managers] · the facts [WHAT] · reasoning [WHY] · impact on readers [HOW] · timeline [WHEN] · action required [WHAT READERS DO] · tone [celebratory / informative / empathetic / urgent] · from [sender role]

Write:
1. Subject line — 3 options
2. Opening — the news in the first sentence
3. Body — context, reasoning, impact; scannable
4. Action items — numbered
5. FAQ — 4-6 anticipated questions, answered only from the facts I gave; a question my inputs do not cover is listed as "needs an answer from the sender" with no answer drafted, because a guessed answer in a company announcement reads as a promise
6. Closing — next steps and contact

Success means the emotional weight matches the situation (a reduction never reads like a win), and every action item has a date from my timeline.

Match the tone I specified above exactly; where I gave none, write plainly and warmly, the way a good operator talks to a customer — no corporate filler, no hedging phrases.

Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.

If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.
