Prompt

    Write a follow-up message to someone who hasn't responded yet.

What I'm following up on (paste the original message or describe it):
{{original}}

How long since I last reached out: {{days}}
How urgent this actually is: {{urgency}} (low / normal / time-sensitive — and any real deadline)
Recipient & relationship: {{recipient}}

Please:
- Keep it short and easy to reply to. Give a one-line reminder of context so they don't have to dig up the thread.
- Make it easy to say yes: restate the specific ask or next step, and where it helps, offer an easy option or an out.
- Match the pressure to the real urgency — polite and light for a normal nudge; clear about the deadline only if there genuinely is one. Don't over-apologize for following up.

If a real deadline or the specific ask isn't clear from what I gave you, ask before writing.
