Make a draft with a clear purpose

Name the piece, reader and main point.

Say whether you want a note, sign, flyer or another form. Name who it is for and what you want them to know or do.

Give the needed source facts. If a key fact is missing, ask for a question or a clear note about the gap. Do not let a neat draft hide it.

Keep your voice and intent. Ask the tool to avoid new promises, claims or feelings unless you choose them.

Choose what to share with AI. Useful dates or prices are not always private, and a vague place label is not always anonymous. Think about the whole note.

A draft still needs your review. For wording that needs expert judgment, use a qualified source rather than relying on a friendly AI reply.

Say thanks without adding a promise.

Made-up note: a friend watered the sender’s plants while they were away. The sender appreciates the help and wants two short, warm sentences. Do not add an offer, promise, plant condition or a claim about other people.

Prepare a short thank-you request.

Sample: an old coworker sent a helpful book list. You want to say thanks for that list, without saying you read the books or promising to meet. Ask for two short sentences.
