Example output

Hi Priya,

It's been about three weeks since we last connected on the Staff Engineer opening at TechCo. You mentioned the team was still finalising the JD and would circle back this month, so I wanted to check in rather than wait quietly.

A quick update on my end: I've wrapped up the contract I was juggling, so I'd now have flexibility on a start date — anything from immediate to 4 weeks out.

If the role is still active, could we get a 15-min call on the calendar to see if there's still a fit on both sides? If it's gone in another direction, no worries — I'd just love to know so I can stop refreshing my inbox.

Thanks, Ashish
