    Its good to exercise correspondence and reviews for every letter that comes along, after all, the details should be as bright and clean as daytime or nightime. It shouldn't have much fizz or fuzz. Goodwork for editors.

    Hi Alex, I want to know if you can help me with this specific and possibly silly question.... do you know by any chance if this format of omitting the 'I' is acceptable when sending cold emails to editors, content marketing directors, and blog owners?
    As a non-native English speaker who provides freelance writing services, I'm unsure if omitting the 'I' and saying instead 'mind if we schedule a call... / been following your videos / etc' might be something to avoid in my industry of blog content, or if you think it's reasonable and natural to omit the 'I' like that in my industry as well.
    Your content has been extremely helpful btw, thank you so much.

      I may not work in such company, but you don't either. How are you the judge then? All you're doing here is trying to sell some nonsense.
      If you have uploaded a video for the public to view, then the public (me) can comment and express their opinion, including criticize. If you don't like that, make the video private and play it on repeat on your laptop at home.

      * One got 2 meetings booked off 4 emails (June 9th)
