Help me ask a former manager for an introduction. My relationship with the manager and how we left things: [RELATIONSHIP]. The person I want to be introduced to and why: [TARGET_PERSON]. What I would like to happen after the introduction: [DESIRED_OUTCOME]. Write the request in under 120 words, plus a forwardable blurb of 60 words that the manager can paste into an introduction email, with my background in three bullet points. Offer an easy decline. Draft a thank-you message for after the introduction and a short update to send when something comes of it. Include a checklist for being a good introducee: reply within a day, be on time, and report back. Add a note on what to do if the manager does not respond, with one polite reminder after ten days. Add a short script for a phone call if the manager prefers to talk, and a way to ask what they are comfortable saying about my work. Add a short list of facts to include so the manager can speak accurately about my work, and a reminder to respect their time.
