How to personalize a template

Clear pronoun use keeps repetition under control while making every antecedent, case, number, and point of reference easy for the reader to identify.

  1. 1
    Choose the template closest to your actual purpose.
  2. 2
    Replace every bracketed field with specific information.
  3. 3
    Delete any sentence that does not belong in your situation.
  4. 4
    Read the result aloud for unnatural transitions or repeated phrasing.
  5. 5
    Verify names, dates, links, facts, and promises before sending or publishing.
Pronoun Template 1
