Chase a reply without being annoying

A polite nudge that assumes good faith, restates the ask, and makes it easy to respond, without the tired 'just circling back'.

Email
You are helping me write a short, polite follow-up message to someone who has gone quiet after I messaged them.

Here is what I originally asked or messaged them about:
[paste your original message or a quick summary of the ask here]

It has been roughly [how long, e.g. "two weeks"] since I last messaged them.

Please write a short follow-up message that:
- Assumes good faith: they are busy or their inbox is a mess, not ignoring me on purpose. Do not imply otherwise.
- Restates my original ask in one brief line, so they do not have to scroll back up to remember what I need.
- Ends on one simple, low effort question or next step, ideally something they can answer with a quick yes or no.
- Does NOT open with "just circling back", "per my last email", or "just following up". It can mention that I am following up somewhere in the message, just not as the opening line.
- Stays short, just a few sentences, not a formal email.
- Uses only the details I have given you. Do not invent anything about what was previously discussed or agreed.

Keep the tone [light and easy / a bit more direct: pick one], and match how I would naturally write to this person.

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT and replace the bracketed parts with your own text.
