Ask HN: Please suggest a good humane template for introducing my product

Very soon I will start sending (cold) emails to potential clients to introduce my product.

I was looking for templates, but they all sound very mechanical and business-ish.

I would have love to make this template myself, so it properly expresses my intention, but I feel like my ability of expression in writing is a bit limited.

Does anyone know of a good template (which speaks as one human to another) that I can use for email introductions of my product ?

It probably does not matter, but the product is a social/peer learning product for software organizations.

Thanks for your help.

You could just use blogs and websites like Hacker News, twitter, etc to advertise yourself, I personally ignore any emails which are sent to me advertising some kind of product.

Unfortunately after years of phising scams and other similar email based issues, I do not trust anyone online enough to "check out their cool new product".

That's a very valid point... thanks
