The prompt · ChatGPT

Write a short thank-you speech.

Occasion: [award / party / leaving]
Must thank: [list]
One story: [optional]
Time: [minutes]
Tone: [warm / light]

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

Then:
1. A speakable speech.
2. A 30-second backup.
3. Inside jokes that won't travel — flag them.
4. An opener to steady my voice.

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. 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. award / party / leaving: a short note you already have. list: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
