I want to reach out cold on social: [WHO I AM CONTACTING, WHAT I WANT, THE GENUINE REASON IT IS THEM SPECIFICALLY]. Write the DM: first line proves I did the work (reference something they actually made or said - not their job title), the ask is small and specific, and the out is easy. No 'hope this finds you well', no fake compliment sandwich, no pitching in message one when the right first ask is a question. Give me three versions: the ask, the question, and the give-first. Under 80 words each. Tell me which to send and why.
Inputs needed

What good output looks like
Personalization is from their real work; ask is small; three honest variants with a recommendation; zero flattery mechanics
