🐠, I need new ideas for email intros. Tired of typing “I hope you're doing well in these difficult times.” Not sure if there is an alternative that isn’t generic and meaningless. Anyone?

Cut the BS and no need for a unique intro. If you have something valuable to say, people will listen

Don’t overthink. It is important to acknowledge current circumstances. An intro email in this time should be well considered and acknowledge the counterpart may have other priorities (depending on what you are trying to achieve / asking for). These are strange times and not acknowledging will come across as self absorbed, a trait commonly associated with bankers...

Good Morning X and Good Afternoon Y.

It's short, professional, and to the point.

I usually do this, but for some reason I now feel the need to acknowledge the general circumstances since things are very much not normal. Maybe I’m overthinking things and I should continue as I previously did.

Do you actually care if they’re doing well? Then just ask “how are you?”

Otherwise cut right to the point. If you’re sick of using this phrase, people are most likely sick of seeing it. If you still feel like sending it just create an intro template and copy paste it.
