Mention a specific signal

Refer to one detail that shows why you chose this person or company.

Keep the email short enough to scan

Make one simple ask

One clear next step works better than multiple requests in one note.

Cut filler and hype

Plain language usually feels more credible than overpromising wording.

End with a clear next step
