Reference-request sequence

I'm {{your_name}}, applying for {{role_type}} roles.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — former managers and colleagues I'd ask to be references. For each, open warmly by naming our specific shared work ([[specific project]]), make the ask, promise to prep them and that there'll be no surprise calls, and close on a soft permission question. Build the natural sequence the templates already form: the ask, a gentle follow-up for non-responders, a prep brief once they agree, and a thank-you after. One ask per email, always an easy out.

Verify addresses, then set it up in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's reference-request templates: warm opener → tie to a shared project → offer to prep + no surprise calls → "Would you be comfortable with that?" The six templates form a ready-made ask → follow-up → prep → thank-you sequence.
