[[Your role or skill]], interested in [[company]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I sent a note last week about my interest in [[company]] and my background in [[skill area]]. Since then, I noticed [[recent company news, product update, or article]] that reinforced why I want to be part of this team.

I'm not looking for a commitment. Even a 15-minute call would help me understand whether there's a fit worth exploring.

Hi {{first_name}},

[[Mutual connection name]] suggested I reach out. I'm a [[your role]] with experience in [[relevant area]], and [[mutual connection]] thought my background in [[specific skill or project]] might be a good fit for your team.

I'd welcome a short conversation to learn more about what you're working on and share a bit about my background. No pressure if the timing isn't right.

Hi {{first_name}},

I came across [[company]]'s work on [[specific project, product feature, or initiative]] and recognized a direct connection to what I've been doing.

At [[your current or recent company]], I [[specific accomplishment that mirrors their project]]. The overlap is strong enough that I wanted to reach out directly rather than wait for a posting.

Would it make sense to connect for 15 minutes?
