How to write an email that gets noticed.

1. Write a concise, quickly actionable subject line.

2. Quickly introduce yourself and if appropriate what makes you worth a damn. Or pay a simple - yet well considered compliment.

3. Quickly to the point. Keep it focused.

4. Don't attach anything

5. Proofread. Omg proofread.

6. Make your request of the recipient quickly actionable.

   • what do you think of x, vs do you agree with x?
   • what can you donate, vs can you donate x?
   • would you like to have a call, vs can I give you a call Tuesday morning?

7. Design your email so that their response can be as quick and simple as possible.

8, End happy
