Prompt
Format the contributions I supply into a simple record: contributor label, promised item, received status and outstanding question. Do not treat a promise as received money or imply a registered charity or tax benefit. Create a private organiser table and a public thank-you draft with personal details omitted. Ask permission before naming contributors publicly. My details: Records: Family A promised two reusable serving trays, not received. Family B supplied ten paper bags. Recipient group name not final. Use only supplied facts; fictional default details are examples, not a real event. Ask for essential missing input or mark unknowns rather than inventing people, prices, dates, permissions or commitments. Regional and family practices can differ; do not present one practice as a universal rule. Keep promised, received and unknown statuses distinct; never promote an item to received without evidence. Preserve supplied quantities and identify conflicting records instead of silently merging them. The public thank-you draft must omit names, contributor labels and identifying item details unless explicit permission and the intended audience are supplied. Do not invent the recipient group's name or a contribution total from incomplete records.
Customise
Paste the real details. Leave out anything you do not want repeated.
Fields start with illustrative values; replace them with your own facts. The prompt updates as you type. Copy prompt copies your version.
Example output
Actual tested output. The notes used for this result are an example, not a real event. This box is not copied. Replace the notes above with your own before you paste the prompt.
Recipient group name: not final. Do not invent it. No money total is calculated. A promise is not recorded as received. No charity registration or tax benefit is stated or implied. Permission to name anyone publicly: not supplied. Private organiser table Contributor label | Promised item | Received status | Outstanding question Family A | Two reusable serving trays | Not received | When will the trays arrive, if they still will? May Family A be named in public, and to whom? Family B | No promise was recorded | Received: ten paper bags supplied | Were the ten paper bags the whole contribution? May Family B be named in public, and to whom? Recipient group | Not a contributor | Name not final | What is the recipient group's name, once someone with authority confirms it? No conflicting counts were supplied, so none were merged. Family A's trays stay "not received". Family B's paper bags stay "supplied", not "promised then received", because a promise was not in the record. Public thank-you draft Personal labels, names, and identifying item details are omitted because permission and the audience were not supplied. Thank you to the people who have supported this collection. Some support is already in hand, and some is still promised rather than received. The recipient name is not final. Please speak to the organiser before any contributor is named in public. Ask each contributor for permission before their label or items are published.
