Reply to an enquiry you left far too long

An enquiry slipped through the cracks and it's now two weeks old. Get a reply that owns it in one line and gets straight to being useful, so you still have a chance.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me reply to an enquiry I left too long.

Their enquiry: [paste]
How long ago: [e.g. 2 weeks]
Can I still do it, and when: [details]
Rough price or next step: [details]

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

Then:
1. A short reply: one-line apology, no excuses, then straight into the answer.
2. An easy next step with two time options.
3. A follow-up for 3 days later if they don't reply.
4. One thing I could change so it doesn't happen again.

Use only what I've given you, leave blanks for any price or fact I haven't given, and don't invent anything. 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. paste: a short note you already have. e.g. 2 weeks: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
