How do you respond to an email where someone introduces you to another attorney for mentoring purposes? I'd like to reply back thanking the person making the introduction and asking the new attorney if they have availability to tell me more about x, y,z, but she hasn't actually agreed to even talk to me yet, so it feels overly forward. Am I overthinking this?

I told her amway is a pyramid scheme/scam and she gave me some spiel about how it’s not. One of the soundbites is how many of the people in this are well paid consultants, doctors etc but are choosing making money this way lmao
