Hi Stefi,

I hope this email finds you well. I've been working as a Software Engineer at Facebook for a few years now, and I've just started looking for a new opportunity. I'm extremely interested in Resume Worded, and I recently learned that you may have a contact there?

If there is any way that you could facilitate that connection, I would be extremely grateful - only if it's OK with you! I've attached my resume in case that's useful. Please feel free to cc me on any emails, and I am happy to follow up.

Thank you!
Amanda

Hey Chandler,

I noticed you're connected to Monica Bing on LinkedIn. She's working at Resume Worded and I've been thinking about applying for a position as a data scientist there!

I would love to chat with her to get some insight into the company and what the role is like.

If you're OK with it, would you mind connecting me to her? I can send you a pre-formatted introductory email to make things easy for you.

Thanks!
Rachel

Hey Sammy,

I hope you're keeping well! [Optional personalized note, e.g. Congrats on the work anniversary!]

I saw you're connected to John Doe on LinkedIn. He's working at Resume Worded and I'm considering applying for a position as a Human Resources Manager there.

I would love to chat with him to get some insight into the company and what the role is like.

If you know him reasonably well and you're okay with it, would you mind introducing me to him? I can send you a pre-formatted introductory message to make things easy for you.

Thanks!

Hey [Name],

I noticed you're connected to [Name] on LinkedIn. She's working at [Company] and I've been thinking about applying for a position as a [job title] there.

Hello Susan,

How are you doing these days? I know your son has just gone off to college, so I hope that transition isn’t too stressful!

I am reaching out to you today with a request. You might not have heard, but I’ve recently decided to go back to work, now that Tommy is in middle school. I noticed that you are connected to [Name] on LinkedIn, and I was wondering if you would be willing to introduce us.

I would love to connect with [Name] and ask a few questions, especially since I’ve been out of the workforce for a few years and could definitely benefit from her advice.

I have been really involved in X, Y, Z during my time as a stay-at-home mom, and I feel that these experiences and skills would make me a good candidate for [Name]’s company, especially in the X department. Before kids, I studied Y and have a degree in Z.

Thanks in advance for your help. I have attached my updated resume.
