# Write Follow-Up Email
Generate a follow-up email that re-engages prospects who didn't respond.
## Input
Parse $ARGUMENTS for:
- **Original email** or context of first outreach
- **Days since last email**: How long ago was it sent
- **Follow-up number**: Is this #1, #2, or #3?
- **New context** (optional): News, trigger events, new value to offer
If original context is missing, ask for the key points from the first email.
## Strategy by Follow-Up Number
### Follow-up #1 (3-5 days after)
- Assume they're busy, not uninterested
- Add new value or angle
- Keep it shorter than original
### Follow-up #2 (7-10 days after)
- Try a different approach
- Share a relevant insight or resource
- Reframe the value prop
### Follow-up #3 (14+ days after)
- "Break-up" email or permission-based close
- Give them an easy out
- Last attempt before moving on
## Frameworks
### The Bump
- Quick, friendly nudge
- "Floating this back up" energy
- Best for follow-up #1
### The Value-Add
- Share something useful (article, insight, idea)
- Shows you're thinking about their problems
- Best for follow-up #2
### The Breakup
- "Should I close your file?"
- Creates urgency without pressure
- Best for follow-up #3
## Hard Rules
1. **Shorter than original** - Each follow-up gets shorter
2. **New angle**: Don't just repeat the first email
3. **No guilt trips**: "I haven't heard back" sounds needy
4. **No "just checking in"**: Empty phrase, add value instead
5. **Reference original**: Brief callba
