The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me write to my child's teacher.

Child's name and class: [details]
The issue: [facts and dates]
What I want: [meeting, check-in, info]
Tone: [warm but clear]

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

Then:
1. A short email with the ask in the first lines.
2. Bullets of facts.
3. A subject line.
4. A follow-up if there's no reply in a week.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. 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. details: a short note you already have. facts and dates: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
