Here’s an example of a note I may send when trying to reach someone I DO NOT ALREADY KNOW via LinkedIn:

Dear X,

SHARED CONTACT said you worked together at (former employer), I was curious to learn more about what you are working on (in your new role) as I am looking to BE VERY SPECIFIC ON YOUR GOAL/FOCUS and I’m thinking (we could help each other reach a common goal)? Might you be available for an intro phone call in the near future to discuss further?

You can reach me directly on my cell: 614-686-7220 or vial email (include address).

Kind regards, Melissa
