But! I don't love the idea of sending PII for friends and family to an unknown source in order to facilitate this.
You can ask your friendly neighborhood LLM for a template and go to town!
"I'd like to create a positive spin on "Cease & Desist" letters for the holidays that I could send to friends. Let's call them a "Continue & Persist" letter.
How can I make something cute and uplifting that I could send to friends for the holidays. I guess I need some personalization options like name, and one thing I'd like them to continue doing (optional).
Can you help me create an official looking, but fun form letter that I can fill in the send to people? Thank you!"
