Warm e-mail
Hello Mr. NAME
I want to thank you and your team for coming out to [city name]. For the brief time that I talked to you and your colleagues, I was able to gain some insightful information even though the time was minimal. If possible, I would like to speak with you further regarding your work, any insight you have about the industry and advice about how one can better prepare themselves for entering private banking. I know your schedule may be busy, I can come out to [another city 1 hour away] during lunch hours or after-work as I have a somewhat flexible schedule. Thank you in advance for the opportunity.
Best Regards,
[MY NAME HERE]
Is this too forward? I met him and his team and he seemed receptive, he even suggested that we could meet very briefly, is this still too direct; should I try to go for the 'date' on the 2nd e-mail? I felt a good rapport with him and his team.
just go for it.. grab her boob.. if it doesn't work out there are tons of other sluts in the sea.
*Fixed a lot of grammar, run-ons, and added verbs where necessary. Also, made it more concise.

Looking back on networking now that I am in my position I would say that the biggest mistake people make is being too wordy when it isn't necessary. The person reading that email is going to look at it for 5-10 seconds tops. Make sure grammar and spelling are perfect. Get rid of excessive words that are just there to make you seem "smarter". No one would ever talk like this: "For the brief time that I talked to you and your colleagues, I was able to gain some insightful information even though the time was minimal."
Keep it short, sweet, and to the point.
This is what I would want in a networking email directed to me, so only my opinion. That email sounds so robotic it would probably make me think twice about meeting you for lunch because I might think you would be awkward as hell to share a meal with.
That's why I changed it for him. That part was just awful. Read my revision of it, and see if you can find something I missed.
Yeah, definitely fix that sentence. "For the brief time ... even though the time was minimal." redundant
