How do I make sense of a letter from the government?
You will learn what the letter says and what it wants.
Official letters can use big, confusing words. That does not mean you missed something.
ChatGPT is a free tool you type to, like texting. You can paste the words from the letter.
It will tell you in plain words what it says. It will also point out anything you need to do.
Try this
- Open ChatGPT and start a new message.
- Type or paste the words from the letter.
- Ask it to explain it in plain, simple words.
- Ask what you need to do and by when.
A message you can copy
Here is a letter I got: [paste the letter]. Please explain in plain, simple words what it says. Tell me what I need to do and if there is a deadline.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
Buddy says
Leave out your private numbers, like your full account or Social Security number, when you paste.
