Cold email built on one real observation
A 70–110 word outreach email, three subject lines and a follow-up — using only proof you supply.
Write a cold outreach email for the situation below. Sender: [YOUR NAME, ROLE, COMPANY] What we sell, in one sentence: [OFFER] Recipient: [RECIPIENT NAME, ROLE, COMPANY] What I know about them (recent news, a post they wrote, their tech stack, a hiring signal): [RESEARCH NOTES] Proof I can cite truthfully (a customer result, a number, a name): [PROOF POINT] The ask: [ASK, E.G. A 15-MINUTE CALL] Requirements: - 70 to 110 words in the body. Plain text. No bullet points, bold or emoji. - Open with a specific observation about the recipient taken from my research notes — not a compliment, and not "I hope this finds you well". - Connect that observation to one problem we solve. One problem only. - Use the proof point exactly as given. Do not add numbers, customers or claims that I have not supplied. - End with one low-friction question that can be answered in a single line. - Write the way a thoughtful peer would, not a marketer: short sentences, and none of "synergy", "leverage", "revolutionise" or "I wanted to reach out". Deliver: 1. Three subject lines, each under six words, lower case, no clickbait. 2. The email. 3. A 40-word follow-up to send four days later that adds one new piece of value instead of "just bumping this". If my research notes are too thin to write a specific opening line, do not fake one — tell me what to look up instead.
