Write a short, personalized cold email.

Who I am: [YOUR NAME, ROLE, AND ONE CREDIBILITY POINT]
Who I'm emailing: [NAME, ROLE, COMPANY]
Why them specifically: [SOMETHING REAL YOU NOTICED ABOUT THEM OR THEIR WORK]
What I want: [THE ONE THING YOU'RE ASKING FOR]

Rules:
- Under 120 words
- No buzzwords, no "I hope this finds you well"
- Lead with them, not me
- One clear, low-pressure ask
- Sound like a real person, not a sales sequence

Give me 2 versions: one direct, one warmer.

Example scenario

A freelance designer reaching out to a few local businesses could use this to draft a first-touch email that leads with the recipient, not the pitch.
