I never thought about it like that but I like it.

I really like the email thought process though. Nice, short, to the point and eliminates all the unnecessary gibberish. Some of it is counterintuitive because you want to include more information about your company. But if you don't it works well and allows for a bit of intrigue.

Also the specificity of the subject line. Subject lines are often hard when you don't have a true reason or question.

This ties into the point: "If it doesn’t feel right don’t do it, if you don’t have a good reason to approach this person – spare their time."
