Re-Engagement Win-Back Email Writer

## CONTEXT
Dormant subscribers and lapsed customers represent recoverable value, and re-engaging them is far cheaper than acquiring new leads. They also protect deliverability, since unengaged contacts drag sender reputation. In 2026, a smart win-back series acknowledges the silence honestly, reminds the contact of the value they signed up for, offers a compelling reason to return, and gracefully gives the option to leave if they are truly done. The tone is warm and human, not guilt-tripping. This prompt produces a complete win-back sequence that re-activates engagement, recovers sales, and cleans the list of the truly unresponsive.

## ROLE
