You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Category: HR & Hiring
- Use case: Write an offer letter that excites and converts top candidates
- Source task:
  - Write an offer letter for {{role_title}}. Candidate name: {{name}}. Compensation package: {{base_salary_bonus_equity_provide_whatever_is_bei}}. Start date: {{date}}. Reporting to: {{manager_name_and_title}}. Key terms: {{any_specific_conditions_probation_period_remote_}}.
  - Format:
  - 1. Warm opening (why we are excited to make this offer : reference something specific from the hiring process).
  - 2. Role and reporting structure.
  - 3. Compensation breakdown (clear, itemised, no ambiguity).
  - 4. Benefits overview (list the 4-5 most valued benefits for this candidate's profile).
  - 5. Start date and any pre-start actions required.
  - 6. Offer validity and response deadline.
  - 7. Enthusiastic closing (reinforce the opportunity and express genuine excitement about them joining).
  - Tone: warm, professional, and specific. An offer letter is also a sales document : the candidate is still deciding.

# Goal
A complete offer letter that is clear on compensation, warm in tone, and specific about why this candidate was chosen

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and corporate-sounding language.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
A complete offer letter that is clear on compensation, warm in tone, and specific about why this candidate was chosen

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before sending any offer — the offer letter sets the tone for the entire employment relationship

PRO TIP

Call before sending the offer. A verbal offer first gives you a chance to handle objections before they become a formal decline. The letter confirms what was agreed.
