Create an email template for outreach to institutions

[varlese]

Following-up on our Slack conversation, this is a draft template for outreach emails to potential partner institutions.

Once the template is decided, I would love to include it in the HelpScout saved replies as well, to help with outreach in the future.

I am not sure about the sentence "I’m a coordinator with the WordPress Foundation". Can any of us affirm that? A sincere doubt! :)

@peiraisotta I know we talked about this a little, so you might have thoughts on the phrasing! Alternatively, I've also used something like, "I'm a member of/contributor to the WordPress Community team," which might also be a good option.

@varlese @CeliGaroe what about replacing it with the word "volunteer"?

My name is [Your Name] and I’m a volunteer with the WordPress Foundation, a non-profit that provides educational resources on WordPress and open-source software.

And please let's use the template for reaching out from HS.

@varlese @CeliGaroe what about replacing it with the word "volunteer"?

@peiraisotta That sounds fantastic and more general. I like it that much I have edited the file. :) For me it looks perfect. Should I merge the pull request and close it, @varlese ? Thanks!

[varlese]

Fantastic, thank you so much! Let's merge and I can add to HelpScout as well :D

[CeliGaroe]

Done! Thank you @varlese !
