Prompt to copyI'm a customer service rep. Write a short, friendly message explaining a bill adjustment to a customer. Facts: original charge [amount and what for], reason for the change [reason], adjustment [refund / credit / new amount], when they'll see it [timing and where], anything they need to do [action or 'nothing']. Lay out the numbers in a small before-and-after list. Keep it under 150 words, apologise once if we made a mistake, and don't promise anything beyond these facts.Check every number before sending
Compare each amount and date in the draft with your billing system. If anything doesn't match, fix it yourself rather than asking the AI to guess.
What you get
Original charge: £64.20 (two months of the premium plan). Corrected charge: £32.10 (one month). Refund: £32.10 back to your original payment method within 5 working days. You don't need to do anything.
Tips
- The AI only knows what you tell it. Your company's billing rules and systems decide the actual amounts, so always check them.
- Never paste full card numbers or bank details into a public AI tool.
