PPP3: Say My Name - contacting studios

We have decided that it would be a good idea for us to start contacting studios that we respect or feel we have a certain synergy with. When looking over lists of studio that we admire we noted that most of them are abroad, so a studio visit is out of the question, and so an email engaging and seeking advise seemed like the next best thing. Below is an example of the type of email that we will send out to studio and finger crossed we will get some replies.


Andre, Susanne.
As a result of coming to the end of our studies with little desire to work for a larger design studio or agency, we three soon-to-be graduates are looking for some help and advice in setting up for ourselves. We understand that this is a competitive market so we don't take the following for granted, nor do we ask it with little respect for your business.
Quite the contrary, it is because of the reputation of I Like Birds that we would like to ask if it is possible to have a chat with you about how you got to your feet, who was there to help with all the legal and business side of things and if there is any roads that we should avoid walking down in our first year. 
Starting out for yourself is a daunting, exciting and nervous time for anyone, it is because of all these things that we are excited to get the ball rolling and meet people who found themselves in a similar situation. Can you help us?
Thank you,
Have a great week,
Lizzi, Mike and Suzanne.
Leeds, U.K.
