How to convey seriousness in a cold email

Hi guys, 

Just wondering if there's anything you've found that works when trying to show that you're not an idiot freshman or sophomore and maybe have taken part in a recruiting season or two. 

I feel this would greatly help my responses to my cold emails once they know I am serious.
