It is never too late to reach out. Most people are happy to hear from an old friend.

The hard part is the first line. ChatGPT can help you start it.

Tell it a bit about your friend and the good times. It will write a warm, easy note.

Keep it short and kind. You do not need to explain the long gap.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT and start a new chat.
  2. Tell it about your old friend and how you knew them.
  3. Ask for a short, friendly reach-out message.
  4. Read it, make it sound like you, then send it.
A message you can copy

Help me write a short, warm message to an old friend I have not spoken to in years. We met through [how you knew them]. I want to reconnect without being awkward. Keep it kind and easy.

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.
