The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a farewell email to the team.

Last day: [date]
What I'll miss: [optional]
People/teams to thank: [list]
Next role public yet: [yes/no — details]
Vent (not for email): [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A warm sendable farewell.
2. A shorter version.
3. Bridge-burning lines removed.
4. Whether a separate private thank-you is better for key people.

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. date: a short note you already have. optional: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
