Networking for internship for HF's?

I feel that I have a solid grasp on networking for IB and PE firms but I'm a little lost on what to do for HF's. Do I just treat it like a IB firm and try to reach out to PM's or do I just aim for analysts? Do I have to add anything to my email template or just keep it the same 4-5 sentences?
