Cold emailing for pre-uni internships

Current year 13, looking for any advice on securing work experience for the summer before uni within smaller boutique investment banking or advisory firms.

Should I aim to be emailing HR or team members directly? 

When reaching out should I be direct to the point or try to set up call and introduce myself first?
