Hi, he is very senior. I would be specific in writing down when you met him and what he said about writing him back
Best,

Specificity is important based on his "brief acquaintence" with you. Having said that, I would err on the side of brevity and also be clear on what you are looking for (e.g., call, advice, etc.).
Good luck!

Hi there,
You want to be clear and concise. I recommend having no more than 3-4 lines and making sure they can get your point without dedicating much time.
Partner's are busy so they need to be able to quickly skim and see what you need from them!
Feel free to message me and I can help edit your proposed email!
