Introduction through a mutual contact

Channel
Email
Use when
Someone you both know has suggested that you contact the partner.

Tip: Ask the mutual contact first, and copy them on the email if they agree. In many relationship-based settings, a personal introduction carries real weight.

Fill every field before you send. Remove any line that does not apply, rather than leaving a field empty. Adjust the greeting to the time of day where your partner is.
