The prompt to copy
Explain this letter to me in plain, simple words. 1. What is it about, in two sentences? 2. Do I need to do something? If yes, what and before which date? 3. Is there anything I should be careful about? If something is not clear from the letter, say so instead of guessing.
Replace the parts between [brackets] with your own words before you send.
Good to know
Before you upload, cover or crop out things you do not want to share, such as your national number, bank account or signature. For important legal or medical letters, use the answer to understand the letter, not as advice.
