In your career, you're gonna write hundreds of emails that people have seen before — intros, thank-yous, follow-ups. Most of these instantly get forgotten because they're generic ("Nice to meet you" or "Thank you for your time yesterday").
A good way to make yours memorable is starting with an unexpected detail or adding a tiny bit of personality. For example, instead of "Thanks for meeting yesterday," you could say, "I’m still thinking about your ‘baking bread’ analogy — perfect"
They’re what I call pattern interrupts. People will remember you for them.
