# Write a thoughtful customer reply.

Respond clearly without promising the impossible.

## Why try this?

AI can help shape a reply while you supply the facts and policy.

## What to bring

An anonymized customer message, what happened, and the exact remedy you are authorized to offer.

## Your starting request

Draft a reply to this customer in under 130 words. Acknowledge their specific problem, explain the next step, and use only the remedy below. Do not invent a refund, delivery date, policy, or excuse. Keep it direct and warm. Message: [text]. Facts: [facts]. Authorized remedy: [remedy].

## Illustrative result

This is an authored teaching example, not a live model response.

A short reply that names the problem and the concrete next action, without ceremonial apologies or new promises.

## Then make it fit

The opening feels scripted. Rewrite it as something a person running this shop would actually say.

## Before you use it

Verify the policy and every promise. Read it aloud before sending; the AI should not send it for you.

## What you are learning

The policy belongs in the request. Tone alone cannot make an inaccurate reply useful.
