Hey `[Participant name]`,  

My name’s `[Researcher name]`. I'm a researcher working with `[Agency partner]` to incorporate feedback into our design process. I’m reaching out to you to see if you’re interested in participating in `[Research method]`.

Do you have any time `[on a specific date/time, or in a date range]` to share your thoughts? We'll only need about `[Estimated duration]`. If that works for you, please book an appointment with our team at the following link:
