Structure
The ask (1 sentence). Who you want, why, what you offer.
The blurb (3-4 sentences). Forwardable copy the connector can paste verbatim.
The out. Make declining easy.
Example
Hi Anna,
Could you intro me to Marcus at Lavender? I'd like to compare notes on AI email traction patterns — different verticals but similar growth stage.
Forwardable: "Pratik runs Pranan, an AI email twin built on voice match. They're at $12K MRR after 6 months, similar trajectory to where Lavender was. Pratik wants 20 minutes to compare notes — no pitch, no ask. Worth your time IMO."
If Marcus is heads-down or not the right fit right now, totally fine to skip.
— Pratik
Why it works
The ask sentence is specific. The blurb is forwardable verbatim — saves Anna 5 minutes. The out gives her permission to pass without guilt. Three signals that you respect her time.
