The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me chase a deposit that hasn't been paid.

The booking: [what and when]
Deposit amount and how to pay: [details]
When I asked for it: [date]
What happens if it isn't paid: [e.g. I release the date]
How I talk to this customer: [e.g. friendly, formal]

If something essential is missing, ask me 1 or 2 short questions first. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A friendly reminder with the payment details.
2. A final message with a clear deadline, saying the date will be released.
3. A short, polite message for when I release the date.

Friendly and clear, no guilt-tripping, UK English.
