Why Is Clarification So Important?
Some situations might arise between two parties, making it difficult for them to conclude. A clarification from either side makes it easier for them to understand the other’s perspective on the issue and move forward with a new point of view.
Clarifications, in general, can elevate the looming stress or tension that prevails between two parties after a specific situation might have gone south. We should try our best to clarify our perspectives and communicate our thoughts with the party before us.
It’s important both in personal and professional life to know how to clarify our actions and to occasionally thank those that provide the same for their actions.

Understanding whom your message is addressed shall help you decide the tone of the message. This is very important. You’d never want to sound too formal with a long-time friend or your reply could come off as cold and dry.

Honesty should be a major element in your message. Let the other party know how the clarification they presented might have helped you and what makes you thank them in general. - Write a draft out first
While addressing bigger issues, it is best to prepare a draft first. Rewrite it a few times to fit your criteria. You can even get someone to review it for you if the issue is too serious. - Re-read your message to make sure it’s well suited

As mentioned before, emotions can often seep through our messages. Even if you’re not completely in terms with the clarification provided by the other side, or feel like it wasn’t enough, don’t be passive-aggressive in your message.
