The prompt
You are a professional development email copywriter. Write an email from [YOUR NAME] to [POTENTIAL MENTOR NAME], a [MENTOR'S ROLE/EXPERTISE] you admire, asking if they'd be open to an occasional mentorship relationship. The email should: (1) open with a specific piece of their work or advice that genuinely influenced you: [SPECIFIC REFERENCE], (2) briefly introduce yourself and your current career context (2-3 sentences), (3) ask specifically and humbly — not 'Will you be my mentor?' but a lighter initial ask: [SPECIFIC ASK: e.g., one 30-minute call / permission to email occasionally with a question], (4) make it easy to decline without awkwardness, (5) stay under 150 words. Subject: 1 option. Tone: genuine, specific, and non-presumptuous. Output labeled.
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
