Cold Email help

Hey guys, just a quick question on deciding what to include in a cold email. I've done okay w my response rate thus far (~20-25%), BUT I have a lot of experience that doesn't seem to all flow well and granted, I don't want to include stuff that isn't relevant. I'm at a non-target, so my experience is what really helps differentiate myself but to give a quick snippet of background:
- Post freshman year IB SA at boutique working in M&A and sponsors, little to no modeling but still awesome experience
- Mid sophomore year winter analyst at long/short equity hedge fund in research-like role
- Future sophomore summer IB intern at large international bank (think Macquarie, Nomura)

When I quickly highlight my experience (or future experience) in these emails... I have two quick questions:
1) Do I include the FUTURE internship (aka be one of those kids who's like "incoming IB SA at so-and-so")? Considering it's most likely going to be my best internship (in terms of positioning myself), but again it hasn't happened yet (still a sophomore)
2) If yes, do I include it if I'm reaching out to ER people? I've been reaching out heavily to both people in IB AND ER, and obviously I tailor the emails to fit the recipient... if I'm including "will be interning with XYZ large bank in IB" when emailing bankers, should I when emailing research analysts?

Thanks for any help!
