Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Write a formal {{letter_type}} letter from me to the recipient below. Someone else may read it later, such as a manager, a regulator or a mediator, so it should be calm, factual and specific: a reader who knows nothing about the matter should understand what happened and what I am asking for. From: {{sender_details}} To: {{recipient}} What happened, with dates, amounts, reference numbers and earlier contacts: """ {{facts}} """ Contract terms, policy or warranty wording that applies, pasted as written, or "none": """ {{relevant_terms}} """ What I want: {{desired_outcome}} Date I want a response by: {{response_deadline}} What I will do if there is no response, or "nothing stated": {{next_step}} Documents I am enclosing, or "none": {{enclosures}} Task: Write the letter in this format, on one page of 200 to 350 words: 1. My address block, the date, and the recipient's name, title and address. 2. A subject line starting "Re:" with any account, order or reference number. 3. Opening paragraph: the purpose of the letter in one or two sentences. 4. The facts in date order, with amounts and reference numbers. 5. The specific outcome I want and the date I want a response by. 6. My next step, only if I stated one. 7. "Enclosures:" with the list, then "Sincerely," and my name. Rules: - Keep the tone firm and polite, with no sarcasm, emotion, exaggeration or blame beyond the facts, because a calm letter is more credible to anyone who reads it later. - Quote terms only from the wording I pasted. Do not cite laws, regulations or rights. If a legal right might apply, add one line after the letter suggesting I check with an advice service or a lawyer before sending. The letter is not legal advice. - Do not add threats or deadlines I did not give. If anything is missing, such as a date, amount or reference number, do not guess: write it in square brackets, for example [date of purchase], and list every bracketed item after the letter under "Fill in before sending".
Variables
- {{letter_type}}
- Complaint, request or notice, for example "complaint" or "notice of intent to end the lease".
- {{sender_details}}
- Your name, address, and any account or customer number.
- {{recipient}}
- The person or department, organization and address the letter goes to.
- {{facts}}
- What happened, in your own words, with dates, amounts, reference numbers and earlier calls or emails.
- {{relevant_terms}}
- The contract clause, policy or warranty wording that applies, copied exactly. Write "none" if you have none.
- {{desired_outcome}}
- Exactly what you want, for example "a refund of the full amount" or "repair of the heating within 14 days".
- {{response_deadline}}
- The date you want a reply by.
- {{next_step}}
- What you will do if there is no reply, for example "escalate to the ombudsman", or "nothing stated".
- {{enclosures}}
- Copies of documents you are including, such as receipts or photos. Write "none" if there are none.
Why it works
- Who it's for. Writing for a reader who may see the letter later, such as a regulator or a mediator, is what keeps it calm, factual and complete.
- What to avoid. It quotes only the terms you pasted and cites no laws, and points you to an advice service or lawyer where a legal right might apply, so the letter never claims a right you may not have.
- If unsure. Missing dates, amounts and references stay in square brackets and are listed, so nothing is sent with a guessed detail.
