The prompt · ChatGPT
Make this friendlier without losing the point. Draft: [paste] What must stay firm: [the ask] Relationship: [details] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A warmer sendable version with the ask clear. 2. A version that's too soft (marked) so I can see the line. 3. Words that sounded harsher than I meant. 4. An opener that reduces defensiveness. 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.
