Recruiting for Off-Cycle Boutique IB
I am looking to take on an off-cycle boutique IB internship this fall and am wondering if my cold-email template is strong. For context, I am a rising senior at a semi-target with experience in IB (small shop, basically search fund) and AM this summer. I have reached out to over 500 people via cold email and have gotten a very small reply rate, and am wondering if my template is strong or if there are any tweaks needed to be made.

Is this a good template to use or should I start including my resume? Should I take out the up front ask for off cycle internship and make it more informational? Any help would be very appreciated.
