Step by step

Write the letter that goes with your redline

This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.

Parties, structure, which turn this is, target signing date.

The substantive edits, with section numbers where you have them.

Sets whose risk the rationale is written from.

Counsel is the addressee, but name everyone it gets forwarded to.

Length limit, tone requirements, positions you cannot put in writing.

Watch for these throughout

  • This letter gets forwarded. Write every sentence assuming the seller's CEO, their banker, and eventually a court reading the negotiation history will see it.
  • A fallback in writing is a concession you cannot take back. Decide deliberately which landing zones go in the letter and which stay on the call.
  • The model describes the markup you paste, not the markup you sent. Reconcile every section reference against the actual redline before the letter goes out.
  • Cross-references break when sections move. A letter citing a section number that no longer exists in your own turn undercuts everything else in it.
  • Do not characterize the counterparty's motives or diligence findings in writing. Describe risk allocation, not the other side's conduct.
