rush_fee_email
Notify clients about rush fees for expedited delivery requests and obtain approval before proceeding. Clearly states the new deadline, additional charge, and coverage, prompting a quick yes/no response.
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

| 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') | |
