The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write a notice to a contractor who has missed agreed completion dates. Inputs I will provide: contractor [CONTRACTOR_NAME], agreed dates [AGREED_DATES], actual progress [ACTUAL_PROGRESS], impact on me [IMPACT], new date I require [NEW_DATE]. Please have the letter state the agreed completion date, the dates of delay and each excuse given, and any costs I have had such as storage or rent. It should ask for a new binding schedule and, if the contract provides for it, a credit for the delay. Documents that usually matter: the contract completion date, the dates I was told, messages about delays, and any cost I incurred from the delay. Reasonable asks: a new binding schedule, a daily or weekly credit if the contract provides one, and a progress report each week. A typical reply: "Weather and supplier delays." Answer by asking for evidence of the delays and a recovery plan. Produce the letter for the contractor missed deadline notice three ways: firm, neutral, and final notice, each 180 to 280 words with the same facts throughout. Deliver the letter itself plus a short cover note, around 60 words, next the ordered next steps if there is no reply (a meeting on site, then a final notice, then advice about alternatives), plus a list of exhibits (contract schedule, progress photos, messages promising dates), then one records tip. Email it as a PDF and paste the text into the message, then keep the thread and any automatic reply and ask for a reply confirming receipt. Compose the letter as myself, not on anyone else's behalf, never as an attorney, and skip any letterhead I did not give you. State no legal rules or time limits yourself; rely on [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and tell me to verify the exact law with a qualified professional or my local consumer agency. Hold a level, factual and courteous tone, with no threats beyond lawful steps I name, and use only the deadline I set in [DEADLINE]. Open with a gap check on my facts and separate what I can prove from what I only believe. The output is a draft for me to review, not legal advice, so do not assert my rights.
