撰寫信件:颱風前改飛機
職場上的溝通其實大部分的時候是在回覆信件,很少需要撰寫一封新的信件。但這次我的行程遇到了颱風,想要請對方幫我改班機。
背景資訊
在我寄出這封信以前,我覺得這麼臨時應該沒有什麼機會了。但不妨還是問問看。所以我會需要:
- 把事實用一句話講清楚:
我這邊遭遇颱風,我預計出發的時候會最糟。
- 緊急時刻大家都沒空,需要把這件事情講清楚
- 把自己的情緒講出來:
我會擔心
- 我年輕的時候會以外職場上不要太情緒化,長大一點才發現可以跟對方溝通自己對事情的判斷、情緒、擔心其實是蠻健康的事情。
- 減少未來來回的空間,直接提供可行選項:
我想要的替代方案是 13:00-15:00出發
- 因為時間緊迫,我不想要來來回回,可以就可以,不行就不行。
- 放低姿態,溝通對對方的不便:
我了解這很難,所以我沒有期待這樣一定可以。
- 我第一封草稿沒這部分,但後來覺得,這樣子有一點把對方當作理所當然。
💪 以上是靠我自己人工的部分,現在看起來也還是很難 AI 取代。
👇 我給 AI 的指令:
✍️ Write letter:
<<<Hey James I have a last minute inquiry to ask. I’m worry about the typo that hits Taipei which will be the strongest during Wednesday morning , is it possible to leave on October 1th, one day earlier. For example tomorrow Tuesday afternoon between(everything between 13:00-15:00 works for me$
I understand that this might not be possible so just asiing>>>
🤖 Subject: Request to Reschedule Departure
Hi James,
I have a last-minute inquiry to make. I'm concerned about the typhoon expected to hit Taipei, with its strongest impact forecasted for Wednesday morning. Would it be possible to leave a day earlier, on October 1st?
For example, I’m available tomorrow, Tuesday, between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM if that works.
I completely understand if this isn’t feasible, but I thought I’d ask just in case.
Thank you so much for considering!
Best regards,

📌 畫龍點睛的一句話:
- 我覺得最後一刻才要更改班機也是會讓對方挺困擾的,所以我加了最後一句:
I understand that this might not be possible so just asiing
(我打錯字,颱風來太慌亂了)
我覺得 ChatGPT 幫我改:
I completely understand if this isn’t feasible, but I thought I’d ask just in case.
Thank you so much for considering!
我覺得超棒的!
這邊我其實聯絡的是旅行社,我想要特別節錄旅行社給我的的回覆,因為我覺得很專業:
We can change the flight however we are not able to confirm the extra night with the hotel.
「我們可以幫你改機票,但我們現在還沒有辦法確定飯店有位置」。
我覺得這句話講的超棒:
- 既讓我最主要的機票問題有實質進展。
- 把潛在問題挑明:因為我要早飛,所以會有額外住宿問題
- 用現實說明現在的情況:
我們現在還沒有辦法跟飯店確認有位置
。- 他們現在人手沒有辦法處理這件事情
- 我也還沒有開口直接要求要幫我訂位
- 保留餘地:沒有直接說他們沒辦法幫助我。
我覺得這句話講的真的很好。我看了覺得真的很專業。我後來直接回覆他說:「住宿我自己來就好了」。
進階:輕鬆的語氣給對方一點壓力
溝通的過程中,對方跟我預約了兩個可能日期。但我想要對方趕快決定是哪一個。我想要對方可以儘早決定,但我不希望他們感到壓力。
這邊就結合了前一篇所提到的語氣,我這樣子寫:
