What this prompt does
- Turns your honest reason into a graceful one
- Lays out the wind-down step by step
- Protects the final invoice
- Builds your pre-send checklist
Why it works
Fixing the reason on your capacity — not their character — keeps it un-arguable. Naming the invoice, handover, and end date closes every loose end so the goodbye lands final, not messy.
Tips for this prompt
- Invoice everything owed before the email lands
- Finish or hand over work, never abandon it
- Keep the reason about you, not them
- Revoke shared access on the end date
How to use the prompt
- Write the honest reason, just for the prompt
- List every loose end and amount owed
- Pick a real end date
- Run it and read the email
- Work the checklist before you hit send
