Mentor Request Email

Write a respectful and specific email requesting a mentorship relationship. Increases acceptance rate with preparation and specificity.

The Prompt

Write a mentor request email from {{your_name}} to {{potential_mentor_name}}.

Why this person specifically: {{why_them}} (reference something specific - their work, a talk, shared connection).
What you're working on or navigating: {{your_situation}}.
What you're asking for: {{specific_ask}} (e.g. 30-minute call, quarterly check-in).
What you bring to the relationship: {{value_offered}}.

Under 200 words. Specific over flattering. Don't ask to "pick their brain." Make the ask small and easy to say yes to. Show you've done the work.
