Email an old friend you have not talked to in years
You will write a warm hello to a friend you miss, with help from AI.
Reaching out after a long time feels scary. You may not know how to start. That is okay. Many people feel this way.
AI means ChatGPT, a free helper you type to. It can write warm words to break the ice for you.
You do not have to use every word. Read it over. Add a memory you share. Then send your hello.
- Open ChatGPT and tell it about your friend.
- Say how long it has been since you talked.
- Ask for a warm, short message to say hello.
- Add one fond memory to make it feel personal.
- Send it to your friend in a text or email.
Please write a short, warm message to an old friend named [friend's name]. We have not talked in [number] years. I want to say hello and that I miss them. 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.

A short, honest hello often means more than a long one.
