## Your task
Write an offer letter from a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people for [CANDIDATE NAME] for the role of [ROLE]. Include start date, salary [SALARY], benefits, reporting line, conditions of the offer and how to accept. Warm, clear, and formatted for [COUNTRY].

## About my situation
- Who this is for: local customers, walk-in buyers and followers on WhatsApp and Instagram
- What we must respect: GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time
- How we measure success: monthly sales and repeat customers

## What matters in Small Business & Shops
- People involved: the owner, who does most jobs; one or two staff or family members; a part-time accountant or CA; suppliers and wholesalers; local customers.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: GST registration, invoices and returns once turnover crosses the limit (in India); shop and establishment registration and local trade licences; FSSAI licence for anything involving food; consumer-protection rules on prices, MRP and refunds; consent before adding people to WhatsApp or SMS broadcast lists.
- Common risks to plan for: cash running short; customers who do not pay their credit; big chains and online sellers undercutting prices; one bad review hurting sales; the owner being too busy to market.
- Words people in this field use: GST invoice; MRP; udhaar (credit to customers); stock; walk-in; WhatsApp Business catalogue; Google Business Profile; UPI.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## How to work through it
1. Include start date, salary and benefits.
2. State reporting line and conditions.
3. Explain how to accept.

## What to deliver
- Offer letter

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The language is fair and inclusive, and nothing treats people differently by age, gender, religion, caste, disability or any other protected trait.
- It is written for a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Offer letter” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: offer letter. It makes the assistant work through 3 steps in order, starting with "include start date, salary and benefits", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a small business such as a shop, local service or home business with 1 to 20 people, so the assistant keeps GST and local shop rules, a tight budget and very little staff time in mind and judges the result by monthly sales and repeat customers. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

  1. Fill every bracket with real detail: [CANDIDATE NAME], [ROLE], [SALARY] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about monthly sales and repeat customers before you share it.
