Making a good first impression is important and that can be challenging over the medium of email. In a one_sided message, the lack of visual aues such as facial expressions or body language to add warmth and confidence to exchange can make introductory wording feel stiff or bland.
Have you ever used any of the following phrases?
“ I'd like to introduce myself.” “ It's nice to e_meet you! ” “We've never met, but… ”
Chances are you have. We all have!
Phrases like these may be straightforward, but they also have a way of making your reader's eyes gloss over. That's why it's important to move beyond these kinds of openers. That way, you can make your email feel fresh while also making a good first impression.
Reads on for specific tips for certain email situations, along with five creative alternatives to those old standbys.
Connecting colleagues or friends sounds great in theory, but it presents a bit of logistical challenge. After all, emails are typically a one-to -one(or one-to-many) medium. Once you've made sure both parties consent to the introduction, the best way to get around that issue is to attack things head-on and address each person separately.

This approach works because it not only gives the recipients a quick recap of the situation(in both the subject line and structure), but it also starts the email with key information. Namely, it states why each recipient should care about meeting each other.
Alternatively, if it's a casual social introduction, you can add more warmth. But, still aim to keep things simple.
Hey X and Y!
