Prompt

TASK (reason step by step first): 1. Express genuine enthusiasm for the role before any numbers. 2. Anchor with a specific counter and one-line justification grounded in data or scope. 3.

OUTPUT FORMAT: - Subject: positive and collaborative. - Body: 130-170 words. - The specific counter stated as a clean number or tight range. CONSTRAINTS: - Never apologize for negotiating or use 'I was hoping'. - Do not threaten to walk unless I explicitly enable it; keep tone collaborative. - Avoid ultimatums; frame everything as solving a shared problem.
