How I know them / discovered them: [e.g. heard them on a podcast / mutual connection X / read their article on Y] Why I admire their work specifically: [SPECIFIC THING — not generic praise] What I want: [e.g. 20-min conversation / career advice / introductions / mentorship] What I can offer back: [YOUR UNIQUE VALUE OR PERSPECTIVE]
Rules: - Under 100 words - Reference something SPECIFIC about their work — proves you've done your research - Make the ask small and time-bounded (20 minutes, not 'grab a coffee sometime') - Give them an easy yes by showing it's low pressure - Never mention your CV in the first email
Output: subject line + email + a LinkedIn message version (under 300 chars).
