Tell a group bad news once, clearly
You need several people to know and dread 15 separate calls. Get one clear group message and who to call first.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Write a group message sharing bad news. News: [facts] Who's in the group: [family / friends] Who should get a personal call first: [names] What people should not do yet: [optional] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A clear group message. 2. Who to call before posting. 3. Speculation and detail to leave out. 4. A line about when you'll update next. 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
