Hi xxx, 

My name is xxx and I am a sophomore at xxx. I found your contact information through the alumni database. 

I am interested in the investment banking industry and would love to learn about your career path and experience at xxx. Would you be willing to hop on the phone for a quick call in the next week or so? I'd be happy to find a time that works best for your schedule. 

I really appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon! 

Best,

xxx
