Write a LinkedIn Connection Request Message

Write a LinkedIn connection request message.

Context:
- Who I am: [MY ROLE AND COMPANY]
- Who I am connecting with: [THEIR ROLE AND COMPANY]
- Why I want to connect: [GENUINE REASON — shared interest / mutual connection / their work / networking]
- Any common ground: [MUTUAL CONNECTION / EVENT / ARTICLE THEY WROTE / etc.]

Requirements:
- Under 300 characters (LinkedIn limit)
- Personal and specific — mention something real about them
- No pitch — this is a connection request, not a sales message
- Ends naturally without a forced CTA
- Sounds like a human, not a template

Write 3 variants for different tones: warm, professional, curiosity-led.
