How to start email if I am not sure other party remembers me? [closed]

I had a contact with a person a long ago. If I want to contact with him now, is it okay to write something like 'I am not sure if you remember me, we met ....'? Or you will suggest other ways which sound milder?


You should feel comfortable dropping the "I'm not sure" portion.

In my experience, I jump right in with "We met at..." plus an interesting tidbit that might remind them of the encounter. This approach is nice and non-commital, it doesn't overtly state that you suspect they've forgotten you, but makes sure they have the info they need.
