What this skill does
Client Letter drafts professional legal correspondence from your voice notes, bullet points, or a rough outline. It produces a letter that reads as if a senior associate spent 30 minutes on it — clear, precise, appropriately formal, and calibrated to the client relationship.
The skill handles the full range of legal correspondence: initial advice letters summarising a matter and recommending next steps, update letters bringing a client current on developments in their case, opinion letters communicating a legal position on a specific question, engagement letters setting out the scope and terms of your retainer, and formal notices required by contract or statute.
It applies consistent formatting conventions — letterhead placeholder, date, addressee block, subject line, reference, body text, sign-off — and adjusts the tone to the context. A formal notice to a counterpart is different from an update letter to a long-standing client, and the skill makes that distinction.
When to use it
- Drafting an advice letter summarising your analysis and recommendations after reviewing a client's matter
- Sending a status update to a client on a transaction or litigation matter
- Preparing a formal notice letter (breach, termination, demand) that needs precise legal language
- Writing a first draft of an engagement letter or scope-of-work confirmation before editing
What you get
A complete client letter with: Header and Addressee Block, Subject Line and Our Reference, Opening Paragraph (establishing context and purpose), Body (the substantive content, structured with clear paragraphs and, where appropriate, numbered points), Closing Paragraph (summary, next steps, invitation to contact), Professional Sign-Off, and a Confidentiality Notice where appropriate. The letter is formatted in standard Swiss legal correspondence style.

Why legal-specific AI matters here
Client correspondence in legal practice carries weight: it creates professional obligations, constitutes advice on which clients may rely, and can be used in subsequent disputes about what you recommended. A generic drafting tool will produce a readable letter. Whisperit's Client Letter skill is calibrated to the standards of Swiss legal correspondence — the appropriate formality, the conventions for structuring advice, the way liability qualifications should be included without undermining the clarity of the recommendation. It produces letters that protect you professionally as well as serve your client.
