Hi {{first_name}},

Great article on how to find anyone's email address. Looking at the WHOIS is a great tip.

One of your article links is going to an old domain - metricsparrow.com/toolkit/email-permutator/.

Last week, ahrefs.com switched their email permutator link to us because:
- The copy buttons on the old domain above are broken
- Our permutator has rare, common, and all permutations for ease of use
- We have an email permutation video tutorial + Q & A section
- Our page has been ranked no. 2 by Google for the last few months.

https://polished.app/email-permutator/

Would you be open to linking to us instead?

Hi {{first_name}},

Just wondering: are you interested in receiving our emails in the future? You may be busy as hell for writing a long response, so all you need to do is to send one number:

1 — I am unavailable now, follow up again sometime.
2 — I am not interested in your solutions.
3 — Can I find out more about the offer?

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely
