The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me write a message to close an account.

What I'm closing: [bank account, gym, software, store card, other]
Provider and reference: [details]
When I want it closed: [date]
Final bill or balance: [if known]
How I'll send this: [email, post, secure message]

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

Then:
1. A short, firm closure message with the date and a request for written confirmation.
2. What the confirmation should include.
3. A follow-up chaser if they don't reply.
4. A reminder to download statements or cancel mandates first if relevant.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. 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. bank account, gym, software, store card, other: a short note you already have. details: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.

This does not give tax advice. The books stay in the accounting system.
