Key Takeaway
- Open with a quick self-intro, then one short paragraph on why you're interested in the group (e.g. restructuring)
- Make the email mostly about them — Khanh aims for 60–70% focused on the recipient
- Reference specifics from their background — their group, past internships, even high-school activities — and look for genuine common ground
- When there's no common ground, pick whatever stands out most in their profile, since that's often what they're proudest of
