Hi {name}, My name is {your_name} — I'm a {role} at {company}, and {mutual_context} suggested I reach out. In one line: I {what_you_do}, and I'm writing because {specific_reason}. I know cold-ish emails are easy to ignore, so here's my specific ask: {concrete_ask} — it would take about {time_estimate} of your time. If that's a no, a one-word reply saves us both the follow-up dance. Either way, thanks for reading this far. {your_name}

Hi {name}, Hope you're doing well! I noticed you're connected to {target} at {target_company} — would you be open to introducing us? I'd like to talk to them about {reason}. To make it zero-effort, here's a forwardable blurb — feel free to send it as-is, and only if you're comfortable vouching: --- {target_first_name} — meet {your_name}, a {role} who {one_line_credential}. They're hoping to chat with you about {topic}, roughly {time_estimate}. If you're open to it, I'll connect you directly. --- And if this intro isn't one you want to make, no explanation needed — "can't this time" is a complete answer. {your_name}

{person_a}, meet {person_b}. {person_b}, meet {person_a}. {person_a} is {a_one_liner}. {person_b} is {b_one_liner}. You've both mentioned {shared_topic} to me recently, and I think you'd genuinely enjoy comparing notes — both of you have already said yes to this intro. I'll let you two take it from here and find a time. Moving myself to bcc so I don't clutter the thread — have a great conversation! {your_name}

Thanks so much, {introducer} — moving you to bcc to spare your inbox, and I'll make sure this intro was worth your social capital. {name}, great to e-meet you! {introducer} mentioned you're deep in {their_topic} — I'd love to hear more, and happy to share what we've learned about {your_topic} in return. Would a {duration}-minute call in the next week or two work? I'm flexible {general_availability} ({timezone}), or feel free to send times that suit you. Looking forward to it, {your_name}

Subject: Out of office — back {return_date} Hello, Thank you for your email. I'm away from {start_date} to {end_date} with limited access to email, and I'll reply after I'm back on {return_date}. If it can't wait: {backup_contact} ({backup_email}) can help with {backup_scope}. Anything else will get my full attention when I return — thanks for your patience. {your_name}
