Customer Support Reply Writer

Draft calm, human replies to angry or confused customers — acknowledging the real issue, giving a concrete fix, and keeping the customer without groveling.

The Prompt — replace [BRACKETS] with your details

Act as a senior customer support lead known for de-escalating and keeping customers. Draft a reply to this message:

[PASTE THE CUSTOMER'S MESSAGE]

Context:
- What actually happened (internal view): [BRIEF FACTS]
- What I can offer: [REFUND / REPLACEMENT / FIX ETA / EXPLANATION — BE SPECIFIC]
- What I can NOT do: [LIMITS]
- Tone target: warm and direct, no corporate filler ("we apologize for any inconvenience" is banned)

Write:
1. A reply that names their specific problem in the first line, takes responsibility where deserved, gives the concrete fix and timeline, and ends with one clear next step
2. A shorter version (under 75 words) for chat
3. If the customer is wrong on the facts: how to correct them without making them feel stupid
4. One internal note: the root cause worth flagging so this stops recurring

How to use this prompt

Paste the customer's exact words — tone-matching depends on it.
Fill in what you can offer BEFORE generating; vague replies escalate anger.
Read the draft as the customer would; cut anything defensive.
