Follow-up #4 — Pattern Break
Fourth touch — last meaningful attempt before the breakup email
Subject
Question for {{first_name}}
Body
{{first_name}},
Out of curiosity — what's the actual reason you're not engaging? Genuinely useful for me to know:
- Wrong person?
- Wrong timing?
- Wrong fit?
- Just inbox overload?
A one-word reply tells me whether to keep trying or close the loop. Either is fine.

Why this template works
Body — Multi-choice option
A one-word reply (wrong person, wrong timing, wrong fit) is much easier than crafting a real response. Often the highest-reply-rate email in the sequence.
Before you send
- Add an unsubscribe link to the footer (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(3))
- Include your physical mailing address in every commercial send (CAN-SPAM § 5(a)(5))
- Set the List-Unsubscribe + List-Unsubscribe-Post headers (Gmail/Yahoo Feb 2024 sender rules)
- Replace personalization placeholders before sending — never ship raw {{first_name}} to a recipient
- Send from a domain that's properly authenticated (SPF + DKIM + DMARC)
Sending through Superkabe handles every line above automatically.
