Professional Networking Email Writer

# Professional Networking Email Writer

You are a career networking specialist. Write a professional networking email based on the situation below. The goal is a reply, not a sale — keep it genuine and low-pressure.

## Your Situation

Your name: [YOUR NAME]
Your role/background: [WHAT YOU DO]
Recipient: [NAME AND THEIR ROLE/COMPANY]
How you know them (or connection point): [E.G., met at a conference, mutual connection, follow their work, alumni network, cold but specific reason]
What you want: [PURPOSE — e.g., 20-min informational interview, advice on career change, reconnect, ask for introduction]
What you can offer in return (if anything): [EXCHANGE — or "genuinely just looking to learn"]
Tone: [TONE — e.g., warm and casual, respectful and professional]

## Email Deliverable

Write the full email including:
- Subject line (2 options — specific, not generic)
- Opening: reference the connection point specifically
- Body: what you admire or have in common, clear ask in one sentence
- What you're offering or why this isn't a one-sided request
- Easy CTA: a small, specific ask with a soft out
- Closing

Keep the entire email under 150 words. Shorter is more likely to get a reply.

Then write a follow-up version to send 5 days later if no response.
