## Prompt

```text
Help me prepare a response to a regulator.

**Regulator and type of request:** [e.g. information request, exam finding, inquiry letter, matter requiring attention]
**The request text:** [PASTE each question or finding exactly]
**Deadline:** [DATE]
**Facts and documents we have:** [SUMMARY or PASTE]
**Actions already taken or planned:** [REMEDIATION with dates and owners]
**Sensitivities:** [e.g. related litigation, ongoing internal investigation, prior commitments to this regulator]

Give me:
1. **Response plan** - each request item, owner, source documents, internal deadline, and reviewer.
2. **Draft response** - a cover letter, then answers numbered to match the request exactly. Each answer: direct answer first, then supporting detail, then a reference to the attached evidence.
3. **Remediation commitments** (for findings) - specific, owned, dated, and achievable. Flag any date that looks unrealistic.
4. **Evidence index** - table: Exhibit #, Description, Responds to item #, Source, Confidentiality marking.
5. **Pre-submission checklist** - accuracy verified by the business owner, consistency with prior submissions, no over-promising, legal review, confidentiality requests, sign-off.

Rules:
- Answer what was asked, accurately and completely; do not volunteer speculation.
- Never state something as fact unless I provided it; mark gaps [CONFIRM WITH OWNER].
- Respectful, factual tone; no defensiveness or minimizing.
- Legal counsel should review before anything is sent.
