[quote=Anonymous]Several months ago I had asked an acquaintance for a professional introduction to a woman he is connected to (who knows well) and he agreed to make it. He asked me to send him a short email introducing myself to the other person and he said that he'd forward that email to her with his introduction. I sent my acquaintance a very good email to be forwarded to the woman I want to connect with. After some weeks  I asked  him if he made the intro and got a response (as he did not copy me on the introductory email). He said that he did send the email but did not get a response.

I know there are a number of valid reasons why someone might not respond to an email introduction and its possible that may apply in this case. If that is what happened, I'm fine with just letting it go. But I actually think this person never sent the email introduction (for reasons alluded to above) and/or changed my email to sound so bad that the other person just ignored it. I also have heard that this acquaintance/middle man can be selfish if he has nothing to gain by doing something for others.

How to proceed? Obviously I can't force the middle man to show me proof that he sent the introduction. If he didn't send it and is just pretending that he did I can't change his mind. But I also don't want to just give up on this opportunity if the lack of response was due to sabotage by the middle man. How would you suggest approaching the other person that I wanted to connect to without burning bridges with the middle man and also without directly involving him?[/quote]
