PSA
Do not send DMs or texts like this:

❎ “Hi, you here? Need help with something…”

  • Wastes their time
  • Causes anxiety to recipient
  • Difficult to have an asynchronous conversation
  • Likely to be left on read

Instead, send DMs like this:

✅ “Hi, I need your help tonight, do you have a shovel and gas in your car? (body burial)”

  • Concise, but actionable
  • Respects your recipient’s time
  • Spurs conversation with a clear topic
  • Gives recipient more time to help you
