How to Write a Great Email Introduction Between Two Business Contacts

Introducing two people over email can open doors, spark collaborations, and build real value—but only if it’s done thoughtfully. Whether you’re making a professional connection, starting a potential partnership, or just bringing like-minded people together, the tone and structure of your email matters.

In this post, I’m sharing three simple, effective email introduction templates—professional, friendly, and business-like—that you can adapt for any situation. Use them to make your intros clear, warm, and worth everyone’s time.

1. Fun and Friendly:

Subject: Thought You Two Should Meet

Hey [Name 1] and [Name 2],

You both popped into my mind recently, and I couldn’t not make this intro.

[Name 1] — meet [Name 2], who’s doing awesome work in [brief description].

[Name 2] — meet [Name 1], a rockstar in [their space or field].

You’re both smart, creative, and doing interesting things in [shared area or complementary industries], so I figured… why not connect two great people and see what happens?

No pressure at all — just planting the seed in case a chat sparks something cool. I’ll let you two take it from here!

Cheers,
[your name]

2. Respectful and Friendly:

Subject: Introduction: [Name 1] ↔ [Name 2]

Hi [Name 1] and [Name 2],

I hope you’re both well! I wanted to introduce you to each other, as I think there’s real value in you connecting.

[Name 1], meet [Name 2] — [brief 1–2 line description of who they are, what they do, or what you respect about them].

[Name 2], meet [Name 1] — [same for the other person].

You both have [mention the shared interest, industry, challenge, or opportunity that’s relevant], and I thought a conversation might spark some useful ideas or even a potential collaboration.

I’ll let you two take it from here. Happy to bow out unless you need anything from me!

Warm regards,

[your name]

3. Serious and Professional:

Subject: Introduction: [Name 1] and [Name 2]

Dear [Name 1] and [Name 2],

I hope this message finds you both well.

I wanted to introduce you to each other, as I believe there’s strong alignment in your respective work and interests.

[Name 1] is [brief description: title/role, company, area of expertise].

[Name 2] is [brief description: title/role, company, area of expertise].

Given your shared focus on [relevant topic/industry/opportunity], I thought a conversation might be mutually valuable. Whether it leads to collaboration or simply a productive exchange of ideas, I believe you’ll find common ground.

I’ll let you both take it from here, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can help facilitate further.

Best regards,
[your name]
