## How to use this template

1. **Copy the text:** Copy the message and keep the brand name at the start so the recipient knows who is writing.
2. **Replace the placeholders:** Map each [Placeholder] to a field in your contact list or system, keeping the message short.
3. **Check length and encoding:** Paste the final text into the SMS counter to see the segments you will pay for.
4. **Send from a registered sender ID:** Use a sender ID registered for this traffic type in each destination country.
