Introducing two people over email requires emotional intelligence and careful phrasing to ensure clarity and courtesy. It is crucial to assess who needs assistance and their willingness to be contacted before facilitating interactions. Informal introductions are sufficient for casual requests among acquaintances, but formalities are needed when one person is being asked to help another with career opportunities, such as informational interviews. Exploring mutual benefits and clarifying intentions can prevent misunderstandings when broker introductions over email.
The rudest thing you can do? Assume everyone is OK with being contacted for help.
You have to ask yourself, 'Who wants what from whom?' If you know both people equally well, and this is a casual request, you don't have to be as formal.
Delighted to make this introduction, I thought you would enjoy getting to know each other. I'll leave it to the two of you to take it from here.
If the email is to help someone else's career with an informational interview, you need to confirm if the person who will be fulfilling this request is OK with being contacted for help.
