Template #1: Young Professional
Subject: Software dev relocating to Dublin - your Rathmines apt looks perfect!
ATTENTION → Subject line mentions specific details
Hey [Name],
I'm moving to Dublin next month for a job at [Company] and came across your apartment on Daft. The location near Rathmines is exactly what I need - close to the office and plenty of coffee shops.
INTEREST → Personal story, specific location mention
I'm 28, work in tech, and pretty low-key during the week (Netflix > parties). Weekends I'm usually out hiking or exploring the city. I've been renting for 6 years and landlords love me - always on time with rent and keep the place spotless.
DESIRE → Personality + reliable tenant proof
When can I view it? I'm free all week. Mobile: 087 123 4567
ACTION → Clear next step with contact info
Cheers,

Template #2: International Student
Subject: UCD student from Spain - looking for long-term rental near campus
Hi [Name],
I'm starting my Masters at UCD in September and found your place on Daft. The proximity to campus is perfect - I can actually walk to lectures!
I'm from Barcelona, 24, studying Data Science. I'm pretty quiet (need to focus on studies!) but love to cook and would be happy to share Spanish recipes with housemates. Looking for somewhere stable for the full academic year.
I can provide references from my landlord in Spain and proof of enrollment. When can I view it? I'm visiting Dublin next week.
Thanks!

Template #3: Couple
Subject: Couple relocating to Cork for work - your Douglas apt is ideal!
Hi [Name],
My partner and I are moving to Cork for new jobs (Pfizer and CUH) and came across your apartment in Douglas. The location splits the difference perfectly between both our workplaces!
We're both 30, been together 5 years, and super low-maintenance. Sarah's a nurse, I'm in pharma. We work long hours so we're rarely home, and when we are it's usually cooking dinner and watching TV. No parties, no drama - just want a quiet place to call home.
Both of us have excellent rental references and steady incomes. When can we view it? We're driving down to Cork this Saturday.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
