Make a clear request to a family member without a guilt fog
Family requests get wrapped in history and nobody knows what you asked. Get a kind, specific ask.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Write a clear request to a family member. Ask: [specific] Who: [relationship] Deadline: [date] Past friction if relevant: [optional — for what to leave out] Channel: [text / call opener] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A kind specific sendable ask. 2. History and guilt to leave out. 3. An easy-out for them. 4. A follow-up if they ignore it. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. Give a sendable version and, when I've pasted a vent, a one-line note on what you left out and why. This is help with wording, not legal advice. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
A short example
Fill the blanks, then paste. specific: a short note you already have. relationship: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
