Write a kind, clear rejection — dating, request or opportunity

You must say no to a person and soft maybes are cruel. Get a respectful clear no.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a kind clear rejection.

What I'm saying no to: [dating / request / opportunity]
How we know each other: [details]
Future contact: [open / closed]
Channel: [text / email]

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

Then:
1. A clear kind sendable no.
2. Soft maybes to remove.
3. Whether a reason helps or hurts here.
4. A line if they ask "why" once.

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. dating / request / opportunity: a short note you already have. details: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
