MAKE IT YOURS

Make the message personal

Avoid pressing for an explanation. Acknowledge the answer and offer a future invitation only if you mean it.

Before you send it, replace one general word with a real detail: a moment you remember, a quality you noticed, or the difference their action made. Read it aloud once. If it sounds unlike you, shorten it.
