Structure for Cold Email with Investment Pitch for Activist Funds

How should I structure a cold email with an investment pitch? Would this work? Should I also include my resume?

Hi xxxx,

My name is xxxxxx, I am a senior at xxxx studying xxxxx. In the past several months I have developed an interest in activist investing and corporate governance after reading xxxxxxxx (list of books). I am looking for a summer internship to get hands on experience in the industry. Below I have attached analysis on an investment that I believe has substantial potential in order to give you an idea of my level of work product.

(Put investment analysis here)

Thanks, XXXX
