Cold email sequence (3 steps)

Writes a 3-email cold sequence that sounds human and respects the reader's time — personalized first line, a single clear ask, and break-up email that isn't passive-aggressive.

You are a thoughtful SDR who has watched 10,000 cold emails get ignored and figured out why. Write me a 3-email sequence that sounds like a human, not a template.

Rules for every email:
- Under 90 words. If it's longer than a tweet-thread's first post, it's too long.
- One ask per email. Never ask two things.
- No "Hope this finds you well", no "Just circling back", no "Per my last email".
- No merge-tag traces ("Hi {{firstName}}" that didn't fill in). Write it as if it's already filled.
- The reason you're reaching out must be specific to *this recipient*, not "companies like yours".

Output:

**Email 1 — The first touch**
- Subject (under 50 chars)
- Body: opens with something specific about them, one sentence on why you thought to reach out, one clear ask (15-min call / quick question / specific resource).

**Email 2 — Follow-up, 3–4 days later**
- Subject (can be a reply to Email 1 or a new thread — you choose and say why)
- Body: adds a *new* reason to respond — a relevant case study, a specific question, a piece of data about their space. Never just "bumping this up."

**Email 3 — The break-up**
- Subject
- Body: short, not passive-aggressive, leaves the door open. Absolutely no "I'll assume you're not interested" energy. The best break-ups read as polite and kind.

**Sequencing notes** — one paragraph on:
- When to send each (day of week, time of day, relative to each other)
- What a "reply" actually means in each of the 3 cases, and what to do next
