# DM Templates 23: International English (LinkedIn, Twitter DM, Indie Hackers)

---

## Template A: LinkedIn DM to Senior Lawyer

**Scenario**: You found a senior partner's profile. He specializes in cross-border M&A in NYC.

```
Hi [XX],

Came across your profile — interesting background in [specific detail: e.g., Harvard Law + 12 years cross-border M&A].

Quick question: Does your firm use ChatGPT / Claude for legal research, or have your clients started putting "no public AI" in NDAs?

We just launched a $369 private AI device (STRATRONIX STA-100) for legal practices — runs locally so no client data goes anywhere. Saves law firms ~15 hrs/week on research + drafting.

Worth 15 min? I can demo via Zoom this week.

— Donald
```

**Variation for Twitter / IndieHackers**:

```
Found your latest post on [topic] — interesting take.

Quick context: I'm with STRATRONIX (Shenzhen). We make $369 local AI devices for professionals (lawyers, doctors, devs) who can't use cloud AI due to client NDAs.

Just shipped 100 units to US/EU. If you've ever considered a "private ChatGPT" for sensitive work, happy to send you one to try.

## Template B: LinkedIn DM to Indie Developer

**Scenario**: Indie hacker / solopreneur building in AI space.

```
Hey [XX],

Saw your [awesome product / GitHub repo]. Really cool.

Question: Are you running LLMs locally yet? If so, you've probably spent 4+ hours setting up Jetson + JetPack + Ollama. Frustrating.

We just released STRATRONIX STA-100 — $369, 5-minute setup, pre-installed Mistral 7B + OpenClaw AI agent framework. Just plug in and chat.

Happy to send you a 30-day trial unit if you want to test it. (We'll cover shipping.)

— Donald Wang
Founder, STRATRONIX

## Template C: Cold Email reply DM (after demo email no reply)

```
[XX] — did my email from last week reach you? Quick recap:

STRATRONIX STA-100 = $369 local AI device, runs Mistral 7B on 8-core ARM, 5-min setup. Saves SMBs ~$240/yr vs ChatGPT Team + 100% data sovereignty.

Worth a 15-min call this week? I can demo Thursday 3 PM ET or Friday 10 AM ET — your time.
```

## Template D: After positive reply

```
Glad to hear it resonates!

Quick logistics:
- I can send a demo unit with 30-day money-back
- Or, if you prefer, 30-min Zoom call first (I can show the actual product live)

What's easier for you?
```

## Template E: Closing message after demo

```
Thanks for the great conversation today!

Next steps I've prepared:
1. Order confirmation email (already sent, please check spam if not in inbox)
2. ETA: ships in 2 weeks from [warehouse]
3. OpenClaw deployment guide PDF attached
4. I'm in Shenzhen timezone — fastest response via WeChat `donald_stratronix` or email

Excited to have you as a customer! — Donald
```

## Template F: Long-tail follow-up (3 weeks after purchase)

```
Hey [XX] — how's the STA-100 working out?

Quick question: any feedback — what we nailed, what we missed? I'd love a 1-2 sentence honest reply.

And if you're happy, could you leave a Google review here: [link]? That'd help small tech companies like us compete with bigger players.

Cheers,
Donald

## Rules for International DMs

1. **Don't spam** — max 3 DMs per week per person
2. **Personalize first sentence** with specific reference
3. **Be concise** — 6 lines max
4. **CTA clarity** — always one clear next step
5. **Time zone awareness** — DM during 9 AM - 5 PM recipient's local
6. **No chain messages** — each DM should stand alone

## What NOT to send
- ❌ Long essays (LinkedIn DMs get cut at 300 chars preview)
- ❌ Generic "Hi, let's connect!" messages
- ❌ PDF attachments in initial DM
- ❌ Ask for money / equity in first message
