Analyst to do buyer outreach?

I work at a small M&A / cap raise boutique where analysts have tons of responsibility... no associates, VPs or directors between us and the partners. Really great exposure, as the analysts get to do basically everything, but somewhat lacking in structure, and a ton of work... 

Anyways, my question: For buyer outreach, is it weird for the initial email to come from an analyst? One of the partners doesn't seem to think so. My intuition says that normally a VP/director/partner would do that. Sending from an analyst feels like a message from the bank to the client that this deal isn't all that important.

Or maybe I'm bugging.... Anyone else work at a shop with a similar situation?
