Cold email that reads like a note

Use this shape for anything you'd otherwise type from scratch.

Write a 90-word cold email to a role at company. Open with one specific detail from their recent launch or post: an observation, not a compliment. Then say in one sentence what we do: our offer. End with a single yes/no question. No "I hope this finds you well", no exclamation marks, no bullet points. Give me two versions: one plain, one slightly warmer.

A trip plan that isn't a tourist checklist

Plan number days in place for who's travelling in month. We like interests and dislike dislikes. Budget: budget per day, not counting where we stay. For each day: one anchor thing in the morning, a lunch place locals actually go to, a slow afternoon, and where to be at sunset. Group things by neighbourhood so we never cross the city twice. Flag anything that needs booking ahead.

For decisions you've been putting off.

I'm deciding between option A and option B. What matters to me: priorities Constraints: money, time, people involved Don't decide for me. Ask me 5 questions, one at a time, and wait for each answer.
