I assume you’re being concerned specifically about the tone and style of your copy possibly coming across as maybe too casual and not professional enough. Please don’t be concerned.

If I came across a block comment that told me the thing you mentioned, chances are I’d just feel grateful and appreciate the simple, no-bullshit guidance you afforded me.
