The email Maya receives
When messages are ready, each recipient gets one plain email. It’s written to be easy to trust and hard to fake.
- From
- In The Event Of <notices@intheeventof.example>
- To
- maya.chen@example.com
- Subject
- A message from Jordan Ellis is ready for you
Hello Maya,
Jordan Ellis asked us to make sure a message reached you. It’s ready whenever you are. There’s no deadline, and nothing you need to do today.
You may remember Jordan letting you know earlier that you were on their list.
To read it, please go to our website yourself rather than clicking a link in an email:
- Type intheeventof.example into your browser.
- Choose “I’ve received a message.”
- Enter this reference: ITE-4K7P-2QM9
You’ll then confirm it’s you with a code we send to this email address.
A few things we will never do: ask for your password, ask for payment or bank details, send attachments, or rush you.
If you’d rather talk to a person first, reply to this email and someone from our team will help.
With care,
The In The Event Of team
For interviewers: why it’s written this way
- A plain sender name and our own domain. No look-alike addresses.
- No urgency, deadlines, or threats. No attachments.
- Never asks for a password, payment, or bank details.
- Asks Maya to type the address herself and enter a reference, so she doesn’t have to trust a link.
- Nothing from the message itself is in the email. It stays behind the sign-in.
