You asked once and silence. Get a short follow-up that adds value or an easy out, not 'just chasing'.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Write a follow-up after no reply. Original message summary: [paste or summarise] Days waiting: [n] Deadline: [date / none] I can make the ask easier: [how] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A short sendable follow-up. 2. An easy-out line. 3. Guilt and passive aggression to cut. 4. When to stop chasing. 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. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
