I want you to write me 3 different ideas for emails to send to my Aunt Josie explaining that I will be coming to Christmas dinner however I do not want to sit anywhere near my cousin Lauren. Also mention that she needs to tell Lauren that if she talks to me, I will leave immediately. I want each 3 of the emails to have a different energy, #1 that is kind of abrasive, #2 that’s really polite, and #3 that’s indifferent and just factual. 
#1:Hey Aunt Josie, 
Listen, I know you really want me to come to Christmas dinner, and it’s not that I don’t want to come. And actually, I will come, but only on one condition: I want nothing to do with Lauren. I don’t want to sit near her or even stand near her. 
In fact, in order for me to show up at all, I need you to make it completely clear to her that if she even tries to talk to me, I will walk right out the door. I don’t care if you all think it’s rude; that’s the only way I’m coming. 

#2: Hey, Aunt Josie, 
I wanted to write to inform you that I will be attending Christmas dinner at your house this year. 
However, I also want to mention that I think it’s best if Lauren and I don’t sit next to each other at the table. I know you know a bit about our current situation and that we’re not on the best of terms. 
I hope she understands that the best way to enjoy the holiday with our family is to simply give each other space throughout the event. Maybe you could talk to her about that, if you don’t mind? 
Thank you, Aunt Josie. I can’t wait to see you! 

#3: Aunt Josie, 
I will be at your house for Christmas this year. 
But I won’t be speaking to Lauren. 
Please don’t sit us together, and please let her know that if she tries to speak with me, I will leave.
