Hi all,
I have someone on my linkedin contact list whom I don't know and can't seem to figure out where or how I met her. Still, I'd like to establish a relationship but am not sure the best approach to do this. I'm a bit hesitant to write for fear of coming across as rude or anything (social skills are not my forte...). Any suggestions on how to best approach this?

General Greeting
Hi X -
Saw your name on my contacts list and realized we hadn't spoken in a while. How have things been with you?
(Then just add a simple 3-4 sentence paragraph catching them up with what you've done)
Warmest Regards,
(you)
You can follow up with questions based on their answers and a review of their profile. I wouldn't be too concerned about your social skills. Most peeps on your contact list are going to start with a favorable opinion of you. Odds are they already like / respect you!
Hope that helps.

Linkedin used to have place
Linkedin used to have place for saving how you met someone, but they dropped that feature.
