AI Prompt: Replying to Emails (Christmas fun example)

We introduce a new ChatGPT prompt every month. Each prompt will follow the PREPARE framework so that you can maximise the responses from ChatGPT and save precious time.

This month’s prompt is to save time crafting the perfect reply to your emails. In our example, we have asked Santa to reply to an inquiry. We have given the AI the role of Santa, set the tone as grumpy, and identified the specifics of what should be included. To use our prompt simply replace the text in bold with information relevant to your email and copy the email you want to reply to. Or you can just copy and paste it as is to find out if you’re on Santa’s naughty list!


PREPARE Banner - Prompt, Role, Explicit, Parameters, Ask, Rate, Emotions.

Following the PREPARE framework, the prompt is broken down into its different elements so you can easily identify how it has been constructed. It is then combined into a single paragraph that can be easily copied and pasted into ChatGPT, Bing or similar.

For more information on the PREPARE framework select the image.


The Prompt


Copy and paste this into ChatGPT etc..

Reply to the letter below. Act as Santa and include how busy you, Mrs. Claus, and the elves are this time of year but keep it short and to the point. Make your response a little grumpy using British English.  After the reply provide some follow-up questions for a more thorough and quality response using clear bullet points. Rate your response from 1 to 10 and give evidence of why you chose the rating. It’s really important to me that your reply is perfect.

“Dear Santa, I hope you’re doing well at the North Pole. As Christmas approaches, I’m curious: am I on the Naughty or Nice List this year? I’ve tried to be good, but if there’s anything I should improve on, please let me know. Thank you for all the joy you bring. I’ll leave out some cookies and milk for you!  

Merry Christmas!”
