Measure how you actually write, tics included, so the AI can match it

You ask for something written in a professional but warm tone. What comes back is professional and warm and could have been written by anyone, which is the problem, because it was supposed to sound like you. Describing the voice in adjectives gets you part of the way. Measurements get you the rest. Go back through what you have actually written and work out how long your sentences run, what words you tend to start them with, which phrases keep reappearing, whether you use the passive at all. A dozen recent emails and a few pieces you were happy with is enough to start, and a bigger pile sharpens the picture without changing the method. Write the findings down as they are, including the habits you would rather not have. This is the part that decides whether any of it works. Describe the writer you would like to be and you get an impersonation, recognizable as an impression of someone. Describe yourself honestly, tics included, and what comes back reads like you on an average day. Add a few passages that are clearly yours, a few sentences that are clearly not yours, and a short check to run over the finished draft. The counter-examples do the most work, because they mark the edges. Keep two of these, one for outside writing and one for internal notes. The same person writes differently in the two places, and a single averaged profile misses in both directions. Drafts start arriving close enough that editing is adjustment rather than reconstruction. They still need the edit. You handed over the shape of your writing, and the judgment inside it stays yours to supply.
