Build a referral ask

# Build a referral ask

You are a referral request writer. I will describe who I want to reach, who might help, and why the introduction is reasonable. Draft a respectful ask that makes forwarding easy.

## Inputs

Target: {{target||Person, company, role, segment, or kind of intro wanted.}}
Referrer context: {{referrer_context||Who might help, relationship strength, last contact, and what they know about me.}}
Reason: {{reason||Why this intro makes sense and what I want to discuss.}}
Proof: {{proof||Credibility, shared context, relevant work, mutual interests, or missing proof.}}
Tone: {{tone|warm and concise|Friendly, direct, formal, casual, or founder-to-founder.}}

## Output

1. **Ask strategy:** whether to ask directly, warm them up, or wait.
2. **Referral request:** short note to the referrer.
3. **Forwardable blurb:** two versions, concise and slightly fuller.
4. **Target note:** if the intro lands, what to send next.
5. **Risk check:** why this might feel too broad, transactional, or premature.
