Help me reply to an emotional or sensitive message. The message I received: [PASTE_MESSAGE]. My relationship to the sender: [RELATIONSHIP]. What I want to convey: [MY_INTENT]. Context (workplace, family, friend, customer): [CONTEXT]. Cultural or personal sensitivities I should respect: [SENSITIVITIES].

Write three drafts of 60 to 130 words with different levels of formality (a close friend or family member, a colleague, a customer or client). For each draft: begin with acknowledgment of the person and their situation; avoid clichés ("everything happens for a reason"), avoid comparing with my own experiences, avoid giving unsolicited advice, make a small, concrete offer only if I can follow through; leave room for them to respond or not.

Add a short guide: how to decide whether to write, call, or visit; what to avoid; how to follow up later; and when the sender may need professional support, so I can gently suggest resources without being pushy (and if someone mentions harm to themselves or others, encourage contacting local emergency services or a crisis line immediately). Do not assume details of their situation. Mark placeholders for names and facts.
