How to introduce myself in an e-mail...help??

Question

I have a friend, let's say his name is Brett. He's told me about a friend of his, Sandra, whom I should meet. This is all e-mail friends, mind you. Brett has told me Sandra has gone through a lot of the things I have and I should e-mail her sometime. We had a fight months ago about how I didn't want any help from someone who went through this as well. But now I feel like giving it a chance, without involving Brett. I wanna know if Sandra is really what I've been told that she is. I'm almost gonna say, I found your e-mail on my MSN friends list, who are you? I CAN'T THINK OF A WAY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF! But without getting Brett involved! Please help

Answer 1

Tell her that a friend of yours and hers said she's been throught some things that you have as well and suggest that you email her.

Answer 2

Why don't you just tell her you got her email from a friend but don't say who? Then you won't look like a stalker.

Answer 3

Just say you heard about her, and have a lot in common.

Answer 4

Hello Sandra,

My name is [Your name] How are you? My friend told me about you. [Friends name]

Answer 5

Just say, A friend of mine told me about you, and made you sound really interesting. I just wanted to get to know you. So, I'm Cassie

( Example) I was just wondering if we could e-mail each other sometimes. Would that be okay with you?

I hope this helps! If she asks who the friend is, just say that you aren't allowed to say...
