Hi [influencer name] I am reaching out because I have been following your [most influencial medium - Blog, twitter, linkedin, G+] for some time now and you seem to be particularly interested in [topic of influence]. I have already connected with you on [network of choice], but I was hoping I could make a contribution to your blog on the subject of [topic of influence]. I have attached an article that I have not yet posted. I thought it would be a great fit as a guest post given the references to some of your recent material. If I don't hear from you I will go ahead and post this on my site and assume you are not interested - no worries. Admittedly you have a much larger and engaged following than I do, and I am sure you know how hard it can be to get noticed without "help". Here is a link to another sample of my writing, I would very much appreciate your feedback and/or the opportunity to collaborate with you. [link to your best article related to [topic of influence] Thanks, -Max
