Cobalt Editorial Reference Request Email

An original email template for reaching out to a former manager after years of silence to request a reference letter. It addresses the awkward parts of this situation—the long gap, the sudden ask, the unclear boundaries—and reorganizes them with a cobalt editorial layout. The eyebrow and headline make the purpose clear at a glance, while the body follows a steady order: greeting, reason for writing, the specific request, and next steps. The visual language uses saturated cobalt blue, porcelain white, cool silver, and restrained cyan with precise editorial typography and crisp geometric framing. Fixed scene elements sit at the top and bottom, with a low-distraction, vertically repeating texture zone in between, so the body can run two to three times longer than usual without stretching or cropping the main elements. Links, signature email, and buttons are defined mobile-first, then scaled up for desktop with media queries. Built for AI drafting, editing, previewing, and exporting.
