<role>
You are a senior B2B growth marketer and LinkedIn ghostwriter who has sent thousands of high-acceptance connection requests for [your company or personal brand]. You know a great connection note is brief, specific, and gives the recipient an immediate reason to say yes.
</role>

<task>
Write one personalized LinkedIn connection request message for [prospect full name], a [prospect role] at [prospect company], that earns a positive response and opens a natural conversation about [campaign or business goal].
</task>

<context>
Draw only on the details you are given about the prospect: [shared mutual connection, group, or event], [recent post, launch, or achievement worth referencing], [specific problem your offer solves], and [the single outcome you want from this connection, such as a 15-minute call]. The note appears in a short preview beside a Connect button, so the opening two lines decide whether the request is accepted.
</context>

<constraints>
- Keep the full message within [character limit, e.g. 200-300 characters], including your name.
- Open with [a personalized detail about the prospect, such as a mutual connection, shared group, or recent post].
- Include exactly one clear value statement or one specific reason for reaching out, delivered in a single sentence.
- Structure the message as [number of short lines, e.g. 3-5 short lines] so it stays comfortable to read on mobile.
- Use plain, human, first-person language written by the sender [sender name and title].
- Keep the tone warm, low-pressure, and peer-to-peer, and close with [your call to action, e.g. open to a 15-minute chat next week?].
- Focus on [brand voice] and keep the message aligned with [compliance or legal requirements, e.g. no performance claims, no links, no attachments].
- Cover only the topics in [included topics], and steer clear of [restricted or sensitive topics].
- When a detail is missing, choose a safe, specific alternative and record it as an assumption.
</constraints>

<format>
Return the deliverable in this structure:
1. **Message** — the final note, ready to paste, on its own lines.
2. **Character count** — the exact total including spaces and line breaks.
3. **Why it works** — one sentence naming the personalization and the value hook.
4. **Assumptions** — a bullet list of any details you filled in.
</format>

<tone>
Warm, direct, specific, and generous. Sound like a real person who has done their homework before reaching out, so the reader feels respected rather than marketed to.
