I am being literal actually, but you are right, this does not work if we don’t know each other well.
This is specifically for entrepreneurs that I work with and ask me for intros freely.

If I don’t know you, the bar is much higher or basically just not possible. If I don’t even know you, how could I make an intro. First need to build trust / have a relationship.

Are you being literal with that phrasing? It feels overly direct to me, like the requestor feels entitled to the intro and takes for granted that you will carry it out her request. It also omits why the requestor thinks that the other person will be interested in giving a job / mentorship / biz dev opportunity / investment.
