More efficient for both to receive/indicate initial interest; from there can move to email or stay put.

Great job with the real-life stories. Simplifying complex messages, real simple: 1) Start with the Pain Point(s)/Problem(s) Solved, and user value received; 2) Summarize how the issues (in Point #1) are addressed; 3) Wordsmith; be as concise as possible.
Using simple analogies instead of features, sharing the Founder's experience.

You have to decide; friend or colleague. If friend, then you end up making poor decisions for sake of friendship. If colleague, then friendship take a backseat

Think about how it would feel if you quit - do you feel good or do you feel sick to the stomach at the thought? If feeling sick about it, then take a break, get up, and try one more time - one more modified approach. Description of Sam Altman - "he was toiling for years..." Sometimes toiling turns to diamonds.
