Your [[specific project or initiative]] at [[company]]: a connection

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.

[[Your name]]

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.

[[Your name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I'm not aware of current openings on your team that match my background, but I wanted to introduce myself in case the timing works out.

I've spent [[timeframe]] working on [[relevant experience area]], most recently [[one sentence on a specific project or accomplishment]]. The way [[company]] approaches [[specific aspect of their product or strategy you admire]] is why I'm reaching out to you specifically.

Would you be open to a brief conversation?

[[Your name]]
