A cold email that does its job

You are writing to someone who has never heard from you — a prospect, a potential partner, a journalist, a hiring manager, a researcher whose work you admire — and you want a reply, not a delete. The Email Writer turns a few lines about the situation into a subject line and a complete cold email, with the Introduction / outreach purpose already selected on this page. A cold email earns ten seconds of a stranger's attention by showing, in the first two lines, that you know who they are and why this is worth their time, and then asks for something small.

How to write a cold email here

Three steps, about a minute.

Describe the situation

Say what has happened and what you want to happen, with the real names, dates, amounts and references. A sentence or two is enough; the example below started from one paragraph.

Set tone, length and details

Introduction / outreach is already selected. Pick a tone — Professional, Friendly or Confident. — and a length, and add the recipient and your name in Details so the greeting and sign-off are right the first time.

Read it, change it, send it

Read it as the recipient would. Fix the greeting if it needs fixing, cut a line, swap in an alternative subject. Then copy it, open it in your mail app, or download it.

What a cold email has to contain

The shape the draft follows, and the shape to check for before you send.

SubjectSpecific and plain, under about 40 characters: Your talk on cold-chain logistics; Question about the Leeds expansion. Nothing that looks like a campaign.
OpeningOne line that proves this email could only be to them: a thing they published, said, built or announced.
Why youWho you are in one sentence, and the reason you are relevant to the thing you just mentioned.
The askSomething small and specific: fifteen minutes next week, one question answered, a look at one page. Not "a chat".
CloseA line that makes no a fine answer, and your name and role. No pressure, no fake deadline.

One brief in, a finished cold email out

A real run of the tool with the Introduction / outreach purpose, unedited.

The brief

Cold email to the operations director of a regional bakery chain who was quoted in the local paper saying delivery scheduling is their biggest headache. We make route-planning software used by three other bakeries in the region. Ask for a 15-minute call next week to show how those bakeries cut delivery time. Do not overclaim.

Purpose Introduction / outreach, tone Professional, standard length. No recipient or sender name was given in Details, so the greeting and sign-off are the tool's defaults.

Improving Your Delivery Scheduling

Hello,

I saw your recent comment in the local paper about delivery scheduling being the biggest headache for your operations. At [Company Name], we provide route‑planning software that three other bakeries in the region have adopted to cut delivery times and simplify scheduling.

I’d like to schedule a brief 15‑minute call next week to show how those bakeries achieved measurable improvements without adding complexity. Please let me know a convenient time, and I’ll send a calendar invite.

Best regards,

Alternative subject: Streamlining Bakery Delivery Routes
Alternative subject: Reducing Delivery Headaches for Your Chain

Generated by the Email Writer on 18 September 2026 and printed here unedited. Every date, name and number came from the brief; a draft is meant to be read and edited before it is sent. The brief never named the sender's company, so the draft left a [Company Name] placeholder rather than inventing one — the tool's rule for any fact the brief does not supply.

Subject lines for a cold email

Say the thing, front-load the words that identify it, and keep the part that matters inside the first 35–40 characters a phone shows. The tool returns three and shows a live character count.

1Your talk on cold-chain logistics at Logistics North52 characters
2Question about the Leeds expansion34 characters
3Introduction from a fellow Sheffield founder44 characters

Tone, length and timing

ToneProfessional, Friendly or Confident. Persuasive only if you have a case to make and the tool's honesty rules keep it to the facts you supply. Never Casual with someone you have not met.
LengthShort. A cold email that needs scrolling on a phone is deleted on a phone.
Timing and etiquetteOne person, one email, written for them — the same generated email to five hundred addresses is a mailing list, and the laws on unsolicited commercial email (the CAN-SPAM Act in the US, PECR and the GDPR in the UK and EU) apply to it. Say plainly who you are and how you found them. One follow-up a week later, then stop.

Common mistakes in cold emails

Five things readers notice at once, and what the draft does instead.

Opening with yourself

"I am the founder of…" in line one is the email about you. Line one is about them.

Fake familiarity

"Hope you are well!" to a stranger, or "as we discussed" when you have not, costs the reply.

A vague ask

"Would love to connect" gives them nothing to say yes to. Ask for fifteen minutes on a named topic.

Length

Three paragraphs of value proposition is a brochure. Two lines of relevance and one ask.

Manufactured urgency

"Only two slots left this week" to someone who did not ask for a slot reads as spam because it is.

Cold email generator FAQs

Is the cold email generator free?

Yes. Write cold emails without an account, within the per-email word allowance shown next to the composer. Signing in raises it, and Pro removes the guest limits and the ads. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.

What should a cold email include?

Subject: Specific and plain, under about 40 characters: Your talk on cold-chain logistics; Question about the Leeds expansion. Nothing that looks like a campaign. Opening: One line that proves this email could only be to them: a thing they published, said, built or announced. Why you: Who you are in one sentence, and the reason you are relevant to the thing you just mentioned. The ask: Something small and specific: fifteen minutes next week, one question answered, a look at one page. Not "a chat". Close: A line that makes no a fine answer, and your name and role. No pressure, no fake deadline.

What tone should a cold email use?

Professional, Friendly or Confident. Persuasive only if you have a case to make and the tool's honesty rules keep it to the facts you supply. Never Casual with someone you have not met.

How long should a cold email be?

Short. A cold email that needs scrolling on a phone is deleted on a phone.

Will the tool invent details for my cold email?

No. Names, dates, amounts, references and links come from your brief and are kept exactly; the tool is built not to add a promise, a policy, a deadline or a fact you did not give it. That is why the brief should carry the real details — the example on this page shows how little is needed.

Can I change the cold email after it is generated?

Yes. The subject line and the body are editable in the page, two alternative subject lines are one click away, and six one-tap refinements make the draft shorter, longer, friendlier, more formal, more direct or more polite without rewriting the brief. Copy it, open it in your mail app, or download it as Word, PDF or text.

Before you send

Check the draft's grammar, change its tone in one pass, or paraphrase a line that sounds like a template. One plan covers every tool.
