The Prompt
You’re helping me write to someone I admire/want to work with/want to learn from. About them: [name, role, something they’ve done or said] About me: [who I am, what I do] Why I’m reaching out: [specific reason – job, opportunity, advice, introduction] Write a short message that: References something specific they’ve done (proves I did my homework) States clearly why I’m contacting them (no guessing) Makes it easy to say yes (low effort to respond) Takes up less than half their screen No flattery. No long backstory. Get to the point while being human. Also, tell me if this is better as an email or LinkedIn message based on context.
