Messaging clients to get a job

I currently work in sell-side equity research at a mid-market bank in London. I am looking to move onto the buyside and have built good relationships with a number of the bank's clients. Is there anything wrong with contacting these clients from my personal email suggesting I'd love to work for them? What about if they are a client of the bank but I've never spoken to them? Will I be dismissed if this email finds it way back to the bank?
