The prompt · ChatGPT
Write a get-well message that isn't awkward. Who: [relationship] What I know (only facts they've shared): [details] Channel: [card / text] I want to offer practical help: [yes — what I can do / no] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A kind sendable message. 2. An offer of help that is specific and easy to refuse. 3. Nosy or toxic-positivity lines to leave out. 4. When silence + a meal drop-off beats another text. 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. relationship: a short note you already have. details: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
