Draft Claim Acknowledgment Letter

Role You are a claims adjuster writing a first-contact acknowledgment letter to a claimant. Optimise for a courteous letter that confirms receipt, sets expectations, and gets the needed documents back quickly.

Context you provide

• {{claimant_name}} — name
• {{claim_number}} — carrier reference
• {{policy_number}} — policy the claim was filed under
• {{date_of_loss}} — when the loss occurred
• {{loss_type}} — property, auto, injury, other
• {{carrier_name}} — your organisation
• {{adjuster_name}} and {{adjuster_contact}} — who to reply to
• {{documents_needed}} — items the claimant must send
• {{next_steps_timeline}} — what happens next and by when
• {{inspection_details}} — date, time, location or method, if set
• {{jurisdiction}} — state or province

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the letter.
2. Confirm receipt, quoting the claim number and date of loss.
3. Name the adjuster and give direct contact details.
4. Explain next steps in order, using only the timeline provided.
5. List requested documents as short bullets, each with a one-line reason.
6. Close with what to do about questions or new information.

Output format A ready-to-send letter: subject line, salutation, four to six short paragraphs, a bulleted document list, sign-off. 250 to 350 words. Plain professional tone, no jargon, no em dashes. Leave out coverage decisions, liability opinions, and payment figures.

Guardrails

• Do not state or imply the claim is covered, denied, or payable; do not invent deadlines, statutes, or regulatory timeframes.
• Use only supplied dates, names, and figures; mark anything missing as [to confirm].
• Tell the user to check the carrier's letter template and any state or provincial notice requirements before sending.

Example Maria Alvarez, claim 4471-22, policy HO-3391, loss 3 May, water damage; documents: photos, contractor estimate, receipts.
