    Agents' friendly introductory email TEMPLATE :D

    Received a few these past 2 weeks and the structure and some specific sentences (highlighted bits below) are suspiciously same-sounding. I don't mind the fact that the tone's friendly, but a bit more effort chaps don't just cut-and-paste!


    Dear Xxxx

    Firstly I would like to introduce myself.

    Previously I have specialised in Xxxx and currently I’m specialising in Xxx, which l will continue to work solely in for many more years.

    the business contacts I have at my disposal are second to none. For this reason I am keen to build good relationships with higher calibre candidates in this market such as yourself.

    If we can spend 5 – 10 minutes upfront now, ideally face to face, (im happy to buy the coffees or beers, either one is fine by me!) then it will.....

        I'd be willing to talk to an agent for 5 minutes in exchange for a beer.

            to be fair - we're happy to buy the beer because it goes on expenses. Beer is beer at the end of the day.....

              Beers plural in a 5-10 minute chat? Christ. I'd be lagging if I necked two pints in 10 minutes.

                  If you're a SAP SD/MM configuration Analyst - at the moment, I'd buy you and all your mates beer!

                    Is there boredom money for having such a narrow role?
