How to Introduce Two People

Subject: {{Requester}} <==> {{Recipient}}

Hey {{recipient}},

I wanted to introduce you to {{Requester/person wanting intro}}. {{Requester}} works on {{project/startup}} and {{3-5 word description}}. [status of company]: They are crushing it: their Facebook page got 100,000 likes in two weeks and just finished a $10M Series A.

[trust / social proof] I met {{Requester}} at AwesomeConf and we were chatting about {{recipient's expertise}}.

{{Requester}} asked if I knew of anyone in {{recipient's skill}} as he/she wants to learn how to expand their offerings. You were the first person that came to mind! I hope you can spare a few minutes to {{talk/skype/grab a coffee}} with {{Requester}} sometime {{date at least a week away}}.

{{Requester}}, meet {{Recipient}}. [trust] I've known {{recipient}} for a several years after {{something you worked on/did with recipient}} I helped him with marketing his startup.

[Optional -- statement about Recipient's work for potential reciprocity] {{Recipient}} is actually working on a new project and I'm sure he/she would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,

{{your_name}}
