Cold outreach email templates
Templates for the first email to someone who has never heard of you.
A cold outreach email works when it is short, names a specific reason you are writing to that person, and asks for one small thing. Three to five sentences beats three paragraphs. These templates are built for Gmail, so the layout survives sending.
