Wanted to point out 21.co (https://21.co/) which essentially does this. You can send a message to Ben Horowitz, for example, for $100 (which he donates all to charity). While Ben is on the pricier side, David Lee (of SV Angel, Refactor Capital) is only $1. You pay only if you receive a response.

I wasn't aware that 21.co had pivoted from mining bitcoing on Raspberry PIs to providing an email service that charges people to send emails to you.

This must be one of the most surreal and out of touch ideas that I have ever seen before but given 21.co's previous track record I guess that was to be expected.
