## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
My coaching engagement with a client is ending. Where they started: [STARTING POINT]. Their goals: [CLIENT GOALS]. Notes from our last sessions: [FINAL SESSION NOTES]. Write a warm graduation letter from me, [YOUR NAME]. Include what they've achieved, with two or three specific examples from the notes, the strengths they showed along the way, a simple maintenance plan with three habits to keep and one warning sign that they're slipping, two questions to ask themselves each month, and a short, no-pressure note that my door is open if they want support later. Keep it under 400 words, personal and specific, not salesy. Only mention things that appear in my notes.
```

## Step by step

1. Gather the client's original goals and your last few session notes.
2. Paste them with the prompt, with identifying details removed.
3. Add one personal line only you could write.
4. Send it after your final session, with any resources you promised.

## What you'll get

A personal graduation letter with achievements, strengths, a three-habit maintenance plan, monthly questions and an open-door close.
