rush_fee_email
Notifies clients of a rush fee for expedited delivery and asks for approval before starting work. States the accelerated deadline, additional charge, and what it covers to keep timelines clear.
Instructions
Write the professional email notifying a client that their request for expedited delivery comes with a rush fee — and asking for approval before you start. States the accelerated deadline you can hit, the additional charge, and what it covers (weekend hours, rescheduled commitments, etc.), then makes a clear yes/no ask so the timeline doesn't slip further while waiting for a response. Keeps tone matter-of-fact and collaborative, not apologetic. Distinct from budget_update_email (cost overrun from project complexity), scope_change_email (client requests additional work), and project_extension_email (you requesting more time). Does not count against your monthly draft limit.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| client_name | Yes | Client's first name or full name | |
| rush_deadline | Yes | The accelerated delivery date the client is requesting (e.g. 'Friday', 'end of day tomorrow', 'Wednesday 5pm') | |
| rush_fee | Yes | The additional charge for rush delivery (e.g. '$400', '30%', '£250') | |
| original_deadline | No | Your standard delivery timeline for this project (e.g. 'the end of next week', 'Wednesday the 18th') — named to make the acceleration concrete | |
| project_name | No | Name or description of the project (e.g. 'the landing page', 'your brand identity') | |
| what_it_covers | No | One-line explanation of what the rush fee reflects — helps the client understand it is fair, not arbitrary (e.g. 'weekend hours and rescheduling two other client commitments', 'two late evenings to hit your deadline') | |
