Seed Direct-from-the-founder letter

founder-letter

Define

A letter in one person's voice, written as if to one reader, signed by the person who owns the outcome.

Mechanism

Personal authority. The signature is the proof. The tone is the brand. A committee cannot write this and keep the mechanism.

Verdict

Trust sits on a person, or the company is asking for a relationship rather than a transaction.

Don't

The buyer wants a spec sheet, or the founder voice is a costume. Forged intimacy is worse than no letter.

Copy skeleton

Dear [READER],

[Why this letter exists: the stake]

[What was seen / built]

[What is offered]

[The promise]

[Signature / role]

Gulf note

If the letter is from a founder, it must sound like that founder. Ghostwritten polish is the tell. In Arabic, sign the name people already use in the room.
