Settlement recap

Drafts the customer recap after a recycling or ITAD job closes (what came in, what was destroyed, what was resold, what the customer is owed or owes) in your own voice from a processing export, with the math shown and a list of numbers to check before sending. Use when an account manager or operations person writes settlement or certificate-of-destruction cover emails by hand.

# Settlement recap

When a job closes, draft the email that tells the customer what happened to their equipment and what they're owed, in my voice, with every number checked.

## Before you start

Ask me to paste the job summary from my processing system (counts and totals by category; no serial numbers needed), then stop and wait. If I say **"use the sample"**, use the made-up export at the end of this prompt. If there's a voice guide earlier in this chat or in my saved instructions, write in that voice; otherwise say you're using a plain, friendly tone.

## Steps

1. **Check the numbers first.** Add up units received, destroyed, resold and recycled, and compare them. Show the math. If the totals don't reconcile, stop and list the gap before drafting anything.
2. **Work out the settlement:** resale value minus fees, as a short table with every line traceable to the export.
3. **Draft the email,** marked DRAFT:
   - one line thanking them and naming the job (date and pickup reference);
   - what came in, and what happened to it, in plain words;
   - the settlement in one sentence, with the table under it;
   - what happens next, with `<placeholders>` for anything I must fill in (payment date, certificate attachment);
   - under 150 words.
4. **List "check before sending":** every number in the email, where it came from, and anything you had to assume.
5. **Say what you didn't do:** you didn't create, change or attach a certificate of destruction. A person issues and signs that record.

## Rules

- Never generate, edit or describe a certificate as attached. Leave `<attach certificate>` for me.
- Every number comes from the export. Show the math for anything calculated.
- Drafts only. Nothing is sent.

## Sample (made up, for practice)

Job 24-1187, pickup Oct 2, customer `<customer>`. Received 148 units: 96 laptops, 22 desktops, 14 monitors, 10 servers, 6 network devices. Data-bearing devices: 128, all drives shredded on site (128 drives) or wiped and verified (0). Resold: 61 laptops at $42.50 average, 4 servers at $310 average. Recycled: 35 laptops, 22 desktops, 14 monitors, 6 servers, 6 network devices. Fees: logistics $450, on-site shredding $640.
