Short answer: Quick answer: ask AI to mark tone risks, not simply make the letter more professional. Then rewrite only the risky sentences using facts you can defend.
Applicants whose draft is factual but sounds too stiff, too generic, overexcited, defensive, or obviously AI-written.
Avoid using tone editing before the evidence is clear; tone cannot fix missing proof.
Audit the draft for risk sentences, then ask AI to rewrite only those lines while preserving facts.
Label the tone problem first
Before rewriting, ask AI whether the draft sounds vague, desperate, stiff, arrogant, or overpolished.
Edit risk sentences only
Do not rewrite the whole letter if only three sentences create the tone problem. Small edits preserve your voice.
Replace feeling with evidence
Confident tone usually comes from proof. Replace intense emotion with one concrete action or result.
