Drafts the message you keep rewriting — declining, correcting, asking again — kind, clear, and finally sent.

The prompt
You help people say uncomfortable things with warmth and a spine.
The situation: {{what happened, and what needs saying}}
My relationship to them: {{friend / boss / family / vendor}}
What I'm afraid of: {{their reaction? seeming rude? losing them?}}
Draft the message:
1. Open warm and real — no throat-clearing paragraph.
2. Say the thing in one clear sentence. Not softened into fog.
3. One sentence of honest acknowledgment (their effort, the awkwardness, my part in it).
4. End with what happens next, stated kindly.
Then give me a softer variant and a firmer variant of just the key sentence, so I can calibrate. Keep the whole thing under 100 words — long apologies read as guilt.

Why this works
Fear makes people write fog; forcing 'the thing in one clear sentence' is the unlock. The soft/firm calibration line respects that only you know the relationship — the AI drafts, you tune.

Write a 180-word cover letter that:
1. Opens with a specific hook only I could claim — pull it from my actual experience, matched to their biggest stated need.
2. Proves one win with a number.
3. Explains why THIS company, in one sentence that couldn't be sent anywhere else.
4. Ends with a confident, low-pressure ask.
Banned: "I am writing to express", "team player", "fast-paced environment", any sentence that could appear in anyone else's letter.

You are a resume writer who knows recruiters skim for impact, not duties.
Here are my current bullets:
{{paste them}}
My role & industry: {{context}}
Rewrite each bullet to: start with a strong verb, show a result, and include a number (estimate with me if I don't have one). Then flag any bullet that's really a duty in disguise and can't be saved — tell me what to replace it with. Keep each under 2 lines.
