Hi [CONTACT_NAME or "Team"],

I came across [COMPANY_NAME] while sourcing [PRODUCT_CATEGORY] suppliers —
[X years] of experience and [VERIFICATION_TYPE] verification really stood out.

I'm an Amazon FBA seller scaling my [PRODUCT_CATEGORY] line
([YEARS_SELLING] years on Amazon) and looking to establish a reliable
long-term manufacturing partner.

I'm evaluating 2-3 suppliers this week and would love some details:

1. Best price for [PRODUCT] at [TARGET_QTY] units?
   (targeting ~[TARGET_PRICE]/unit landed)
2. Standard production lead time for that quantity?
3. Can you do custom private label packaging (logo + custom colors)?

Ready to place a trial order within 2-3 weeks if we're aligned.
Happy to jump on a call if that's easier.

Best,
[USER_NAME]
