Draft A Reply To A Difficult Family Email

The email arrived, dragged up an old argument, and your first draft reply was three paragraphs of righteous fury. This writes the calmer version instead: firm, short, and closes the subject without being cold. For anyone who wants to reply today rather than stew on it for a week.

You need to reply to an email from {FAMILY_MEMBER} that raised [an old argument about money] and left you annoyed. Write a calm, firm reply that does not escalate things, addresses the actual point being made, and closes the door on the old argument without being cold. Keep it under 150 words and suitable to send as is.
