Write a first-contact email.

**Premise: they did not ask to hear from me, and they will decide in the subject line and the first sentence.**

1. **State why *them*, specifically** — ***from what I actually know about them.* **If all I have is their industry, say so** — **"companies like yours" is the line that gets deleted**
2. **One sentence on the problem**, ***in their words not mine.* **Do not name my product in it**
3. **One sentence on what we do**, concrete
4. **One ask, small.** ***Not a meeting — the smallest next step that still moves it.* **A 30-minute request from a stranger is a no**
5. **An easy out.** *"If this is not you, who should I ask?" gets replies that a pitch does not*

**Rules:**
- **Under 120 words.** ***It is read on a phone between other mail***
- ***No flattery about their company.* **They know it is researched and generic**
- **No "quick question", no "just following up", no "circle back"**
- ***Subject line: what it is about, not a hook.* **Write three and say what each one is betting on**
- **No attachment, no link in the first one** — *both cost deliverability and neither gets opened*

**Then:** ***what makes this deletable***, and what I would need to find out about them to fix it.

⚠️ ***Use only what I told you about my product and about them. Do not invent a customer, a result, a figure, or a claim about what we do.*** **A claim made in outreach gets checked on the call.**

**Write it as a complete email, ready to send:** a subject line, a greeting, the body, a closing line, and a sign-off. ***Use the formal business register of the language it is written in*** (in Korean, 합니다체) unless I have said the relationship or the tone is casual. *Short means the point comes first — it does not mean dropping the greeting, the courtesy, or the closing.* *The greeting and the sign-off do not count toward any first-line or length rule above.*
