A follow up to this post.

A feeler email.  I can say, with a degree of certainty, that this is one of five email templates this kid has.  I’m amused by the use of exclamation points.

As for me, I’m currently a college senior here in New York City. I’m majoring in Political Science and Finance at CUNY Hunter.

I’m looking to attend graduate school (maybe an MBA, maybe law school) next year–as you full well know, not an inexpensive endeavor. Actually, it’s outrageously pricey. So I’m working hard and hoping to raise enough money to enroll as soon as possible.

To accomplish this, I market a line of Fine Cutlery called Cutco. The products are handmade in Upstate New York. They’re on display at MOMA for their design excellence–including a naturally heating Ice Cream Scoop and Soft Cheese Slicer–and even used on the Food Network. Ronald Reagan even had them on his ranch!

We carry Basic and Specialty Kitchen Knives, Fun Kitchen Gadgets,Serving Pieces, Cheese Board Sets, Griddles, Woks, Gourmet Fry Pans. We even have Gardening Tools, Barbecue Equipment, Golfing Gear, and even ‘Just Because” Decorative Kitchen Items.

Popular with Real Estate professionals is the business gifts, which are engraved and gift wrapped for free.

In addition to ‘shooting the shit’ about traveling and learning about your business, I’d love to give you an easy, fun demo of Cutco’s new products. When I have meetings with other professionals, I find it useful to show them some of the items–they’re hard to appreciate without holding and experiencing them, and perhaps even slicing a crusty baguette. It’ll be fun to get your feedback on the products, and I think you’ll find it to be a useful line to keep in mind for gifts, referrals, and so forth.

There’s absolutely ZERO obligation to make a purchase. I’d like to get to know you a tad better, cultivate a working relationship, and tell you of some of Cutco’s pieces. It’s fun–I promise, it really is!–to show it to people regardless of whether they are personally interested.

Just a fun chat. And I think that getting to know one another will prove to be productive.

I would love to meet you this weekend or sometime next week. Do let me know what a good day would be!
