Follow-ups

Write a breakup email

The final, polite email of a sequence that closes the loop and invites an honest answer.

The prompt
Write the last email of a cold sequence to {{firstName}} at {{companyName}}, who hasn't replied to three emails about {{offer}}.

Rules:
- Under 50 words.
- Say clearly that this is the last email.
- No guilt, sarcasm or "I guess you're not interested".
- Leave the door open: they can reply any time.
- Optionally ask whether someone else is the right person.
Example of what it writes
Hi {{firstName}}, I'll stop here so I don't crowd your inbox. If new-client pipeline becomes a priority, just reply and I'll pick it up. And if someone else at {{companyName}} handles this, I'd be glad of a name.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy it into any AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Claude.
  2. Replace each {{field}} with real details about you and the person you're writing to. The more specific they are, the less generic the result.
  3. Check every fact, name and number in what comes back: AI can sound sure about things that aren't true.
  4. Cut it down if it runs long. A cold email reads best under about 75 words.
  5. Send it to yourself and read it on your phone before anyone else sees it.
