When to use this template

Use this when there is a real relationship and a specific task-based reason an introduction might help. Let the intermediary decide whether it is appropriate and check the other person’s interest first.

Choose another approach when: You plan to imply an endorsement, pressure a contact, expose private account details, or treat an introduction as permission for a mailing campaign.

Gather these inputs

The real relationship with the intermediary and why the task fits.
A truthful short product description and current availability.
A low-effort voluntary next step, with no private information needed to explain it.

Worked example

Illustrative example, not a Crany customer result. Replace every example detail with facts you can verify.

Fictional founder asks a former colleague whether a studio owner might want to discuss a client-handoff organizer. The draft describes a limited pilot rather than a public launch and asks the colleague to check interest.
It does not say “you recommended us” or add the studio owner’s address to an audience. If the colleague declines or the owner is uninterested, the request ends.
This is example copy for review, not a message sent to anyone or a claim that an introduction occurred.

How to use it

Confirm the relationship and the genuine task-based reason for the request.
Adapt the draft with accurate availability and a simple voluntary next step.
Have the human sender review the context and wait for an appropriate introduction before any follow-up.

Check before using it

The intermediary is free to decline without explaining.
The wording does not manufacture endorsement or prior interest.
Contact details and private facts are not passed around automatically.

What to measure

Record requested, mutually welcomed and completed introductions separately. A forwarded note is not a qualified opportunity, marketing subscription or customer acquisition.
