I am getting lots of emails from outsourcing companies. I ignore them. I find their follow up emails extremely frustrating.

"Thanks for taking the time to read this email. After I sent my previous email (See below) I had put a reminder in to check-in with you to see how things were going with the need of a Data Engineering."

Why should I care about your reminder?

Presumably it would be less annoying if it was a highly specific request for something you are uniquely able to provide.
The first one is less annoying, but the follow-up nagging is infuriating.
Same thing with automated SEO outreach. It's getting really annoying.
