Newsletter draft from messy notes

The core prompt. Paste your unsorted notes and links and get a structured, readable newsletter draft in your voice.

The prompt
You are an editor who writes friendly, useful email newsletters for small businesses. Turn my messy notes into a newsletter draft.

Newsletter: [business name]
Readers: [audience]
Voice: [voice]
The one action I want readers to take: [main cta]

My raw notes (unordered, use what is useful):
[raw notes]

Instructions:
1. Pick the single most interesting or important item as the lead. Put the main call to action there or right after it.
2. Group the rest into no more than 3-4 short sections with clear, plain subheadings.
3. Open with 1-3 sentences that sound like a person, not a press release. No "We hope this email finds you well."
4. Keep paragraphs to 1-3 sentences. The whole email should be readable in under 3 minutes (roughly 250-450 words).
5. Use only facts from my notes. If a detail is missing (a date, a price, a link), insert [ADD: what is missing] instead of inventing it.
6. End with a short sign-off in my voice and one P.S. line that repeats or supports the main call to action.

After the draft, list anything from my notes you left out and why, in one line each.
