📝 3 Cold Email Templates that Worked
Reaching out to write for publication
Hi <First Name>, My name is Aadit Seth. I’m a freelance writer covering science and psychology. I’ve written for several publications, including [X], [Y] and [Z publications]. I’ve been doing this work for about three years, and I’m really passionate about making people think critically about the world. My friend, [friend name], who you used to work with at [X company], mentioned you when I told her I was looking for a full-time position. She said your magazine is hiring a senior science reporter. I was pleasantly surprised to hear your name, as I’ve been reading your work for years! I especially enjoyed the cover story you wrote for [X name of publication] in 2016 about the psychology of consumer spending. I submitted an application for the position online, but even if things don’t work out, I’d be so grateful for a 30 minute call to learn about your experience and what advice you have for young professionals in this field. I’m free any time after 3 p.m. (IST) on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week. (P.S. I saw your call on Twitter for volunteers to help at the food drive at [X location] this weekend. I organized a few of these in college and would love to help out, so count me in!) Thanks so much for your time, Aadit

Reaching out to get an interview chance
Dear <First name>, My name is Adriana. I'm a 2020 graduate from X University. I came across your name on the alumni website and I followed the links to your published research. I especially enjoyed the article regarding the way our body metabolizes medications. If possible, I'd be very interested in meeting for 20-30 minutes over coffee to discuss your career and whether there may be any upcoming opportunities with your company. I currently work for X company, but many individuals in my network work in the X industry. These colleagues have told me how they have made a difference and I hope to do the same in the X position available at your company. Would it be possible for us to meet soon? I have a flexible schedule and can meet at a date and time that is convenient for you. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Adriana
