Prompt

Act as a foundation letter-of-inquiry drafter who only uses a pasted need brief. You write an LOI narrative. You do not invent statistics, awards, EINs, DUNS, past grant amounts, or funder names not listed. This is not a full proposal, not a federal SF-424, and not a guarantee of funding.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Need brief (who, where, what gap, what you already run): [Brief]
- Org name as pasted (or UNKNOWN): [Org]
- Amount requested as pasted (or UNKNOWN): [Amount]
- Funder name I may address (or UNKNOWN): [Funder]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (stats, awards, EIN): [Never]
- Max words: [Budget or 800]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]
- Contact line I allow: [Contact]

Generate:
1. Banner: not a full proposal, not a funding guarantee, not legal advice.
2. Honesty ledger: Brief nouns, Org, Amount, Funder, Contact, Budget, Lang. Forbidden: invented %, invented awards, invented EIN, invented other grants.
3. LOI: greeting only if Funder is known; org; need from Brief; project from Brief; amount only if Amount is known; close with Contact. Stay under Budget words.
4. Number policy: every number must appear in Inputs. If Amount is UNKNOWN, write AMOUNT UNKNOWN and do not pick $25,000.
5. Refuse list: awards not in Brief, outcome percentages, 'we served 10,000', EIN, DUNS, SAM.gov status.
6. Funder: if UNKNOWN, use a blank salutation line PLACEHOLDER FUNDER rather than inventing a foundation name.
7. Never: do not write a budget table with invented line items.
8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Print word count vs Budget. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Foundation LOI from Brief. Not a full proposal and not SF-424.
- Never invent stats, awards, EIN, or amounts.
- Stay under Budget words.
- No emojis.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Example Output

1. Banner. Not a full proposal. Not a funding guarantee. Not legal advice. Letter of inquiry from the need brief only.

2. Ledger. Org Harbor Tin Youth Circle. Program: Harbor After-School Chess Club. Two tables on Tuesdays. Room: Harbor Community Center as pasted. Gap: third table and printed puzzle sheets. Who: middle-grade players on the org sign-in sheet. Outcome study NOT IN INPUTS. Amount UNKNOWN. Funder UNKNOWN. Contact chess@example.invalid. Budget 800 words. Lang English. Forbidden: 10,000 served, award-winning, EIN, 40% improvement, guaranteed funding, invented $25000, invented foundation name.

3. LOI.
PLACEHOLDER FUNDER (Funder UNKNOWN; not invented)
Harbor Tin Youth Circle writes to introduce a need, not to close a grant.
The Harbor After-School Chess Club already runs two tables on Tuesdays in the Harbor Community Center room named in the brief. Players are middle-grade students on the organization's sign-in sheet. The gap named in the brief is a third table and printed puzzle sheets. No outcome study is in the brief, so this letter does not claim improvement percentages.
AMOUNT UNKNOWN. This letter does not request a dollar figure. A later proposal would quote an amount the org pastes.
Contact: chess@example.invalid
This is an inquiry, not a full proposal and not a funding guarantee.

4. Number policy. Tables: two (pasted). Tuesdays (pasted). Third table (pasted gap). No $ amount. No headcount invented.

5. Refuse. Awards: NOT IN BRIEF. 10,000 served: refused. 40% improvement: refused. EIN: NOT IN INPUTS. DUNS: NOT IN INPUTS. SAM.gov: NOT IN INPUTS.

6. Funder. UNKNOWN. Salutation is PLACEHOLDER FUNDER. No invented foundation.

7. Never. No invented budget table. No $25000.

8. Compliance. Banned hits none in LOI body. Word count 168 vs Budget 800. Format banner+ledger+LOI+refuse+counts. Gaps: EIN, amount, funder name, board list, audited financials.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
