Letter Writer

Turn a rough complaint, request, or explanation into a clear, properly addressed letter — ready to send, print, or email — in your own voice, not a robotic one.

How it works

Getting the tone and structure right on a formal letter — to a strata manager, an insurer, a utility provider — takes longer than it should. Describe what happened and what you want to happen next, and Claude drafts a clear, properly structured letter you can send as-is or adjust.

How to use it

Explain what happened, in your own words, no need to make it formal.
Say who it's going to and what outcome you're after.
Ask for a version that's firmer or friendlier if the first draft isn't quite right.
Ask Claude to keep it to one page if you want something short and to the point.

A few prompts to start with

Chase up a repair

"Write a letter to my strata manager. The front gate has been broken for six weeks despite two phone calls, and I want it fixed within two weeks or I'll raise it at the next AGM. Keep it firm but polite."

Dispute a bill or charge

"Write a letter to my energy provider disputing a $220 charge on my last bill that doesn't match my usual usage. I'd like a review and an explanation before I pay it."

Request an accommodation

"Write a letter to my local council asking for a disabled parking permit renewal, explaining that my mobility has become more limited over the past year."

Make a shorter, friendlier version

"Can you rewrite that last letter to be shorter and a bit warmer in tone, while still being clear about what I need?"

Copy whichever fits, swap in your own details, and paste it into Claude to get a plain-English answer written for your exact situation.
