Chase this politely
A second nudge on something they genuinely might have missed.
Write the chase. Under 40 words, restate the ask in full, end on one closed question. Do not apologise for following up.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Outreach and chasing. Writing to people who owe you nothing, and nudging the ones who never wrote back.
