Tired of reading emails?
Let AI extract your action items
Unboxd, the AI email secretary, reads every email for you and surfaces only what matters.
Browse 25+ ready-to-use templates for cold outreach, follow-ups, introductions, and more. Edit inline and copy with one click.
Start with a clear, specific subject line that tells the recipient exactly what to expect. Open with a greeting using their name, state your purpose in the first sentence, and keep paragraphs to two or three sentences max. End with a concrete call to action so the recipient knows exactly what you need. Always proofread for typos and tone before hitting send.
The best templates are concise, well-structured, and easy to personalize. They use placeholder text like [Company Name] or [Recipient Name] so you can quickly swap in real details without rewriting the whole message. A strong template also has a clear call to action and strikes the right balance between professional and approachable.
Research from Boomerang shows that emails between 50 and 125 words get the highest response rates. Aim for brevity: state your purpose, provide necessary context, and include a clear next step. If your email requires more detail, consider using bullet points or attaching a document instead of writing a wall of text.
Wait two to three business days before sending a first follow-up. If you still don't hear back, send a second follow-up after another three to five days. Keep follow-ups short and reference your original message. After three attempts with no reply, it's generally best to try a different communication channel or move on.
