The context-first request

Hi {name},

Why this works

Offering safe topics helps clients avoid sharing sensitive personal information.

Avoid this mistake

Do not request medical details, guaranteed outcomes, or praise as a condition of support.

Replace every placeholder and choose a channel the recipient expects. ProofWall does not send these messages for you. Email notifications and automated request campaigns are not part of this version.

Keep permission separate

The collection form asks for permission to publish. Never treat a reply to a private message as permission to post their name, company or words. Disclose incentives and material connections; do not ask only for a positive rating.
