Cold emailing - Why I want to work at the company

Can some of you post what you'd send in a cold email?

Im planning on sending my cover letter stating where i went to school, why I want to work at their company, and a summary of my relevant job experience.

I am seeking an internship, but I don't know what to ask them. I don't want to ask them for more info about their program....since most of that is online. How can I engage them?

 

jesus fucking christ. if you can't write a cold email, you don't deserve a job.

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.

You can cut this down; it may be a little lengthy. I just started writing. Good luck.
