Ask a busy person for something

Emailing someone whose time costs more than yours.

Write a message asking for the thing below, optimised for someone who triages their inbox in ten seconds.

Structure:
- A subject line stating the ask, not the topic.
- First sentence: who I am and the ask, together.
- The decision they need to make, with everything required to make it inside the email. No "see attached", no chasing a link.
- The cost to them, stated in minutes or as a specific action.
- A default: what happens if they do nothing, or a yes or no they can send in one line.

Under 100 words. No throat-clearing, no compliments that are obviously softening. If the ask is genuinely too large to make cold, say so and tell me what to ask for first.

What I want:
Who they are:

Outreach and chasing. Writing to people who owe you nothing, and nudging the ones who never wrote back.
