We wrote it this way on purpose.\n- Shorten the company name wherever possible (say, \"XYZ\" instead of \"XYZ Agency\"). More examples: \"Love AMS\" instead of \"Love AMS Professional Services\", \"Love Mayo\" instead of \"Love Mayo Inc.\", etc.\n- Do the same with locations. \"San Fran\" instead of \"San Francisco\", \"BC\" instead of \"British Columbia\", etc.\n- For your variables, focus on small, non-obvious things to paraphrase. The idea is to make people think we *really* dove deep into their website, so don't use something obvious. Do not say cookie-cutter stuff like \"Love your company!\" or \"Love your take on marketing!\".\nemail:{{ $json['EMAIL verified'] }}\ncompany name:{{ $json.companyName }}\ndescription:{{ $json[' description'] }}\nwebsite:{{ $json.website }}"
