Cold Outreach template

Canonical template for the Cold Outreach format.

Subject: [Short, specific, no "Introduction" or "Following up"]

[Opening: one specific observation about the recipient - something they wrote, built, or said
that is genuinely relevant to why you are reaching out. No self-introduction here.]

[Bridge: one to two sentences naming why you or your work is relevant to THAT observation.
The connection must be real, not aspirational.]

[Ask: one sentence, one request, low commitment. A reply, a 15-minute call, a yes/no question.]

[Sign-off: name only, or name plus one-line identifier. No company boilerplate.]
