Task

Draft a compelling, professional cold outreach email to the corporate social responsibility lead at {{target_company}} to propose an exploratory dialogue regarding {{community_initiative}}.

Constraints

• Email body MUST remain under 220 words.
• MUST include at least one concrete outcome metric from {{impact_metric}}.
• Tone MUST be peer-to-peer, collaborative, and evidence-based rather than supplicant.
• MUST NOT use generic donor solicitations, emotional appeals, or vague requests for general funds.
• MUST NOT exceed one external link reference.

Output format

2. Is the word count strictly under the specified limit?
3. Would an ESG executive understand the operational scope within a 30-second scan?
