Tweak my Cold Email asking for Internships

"Dear Mr. Name,

I am writing to you to see if [Bank/Firm Name] might be interested in taking an intern this summer.

Currently, I am a student at university with a [3.8+] GPA and a perfect [Standardized Test] score, pursuing a double major in [Major 1] and [Major 2].

I have developed skills in financial modeling and investment analysis from my experience in [Relevant Finance Club], which is [Club Description] with $$$ AUM. My resume is attached below.

Would it be possible to arrange a call? I would be very grateful for an opportunity to discuss this with you. "

Just a couple comments to provide some context:

  1. I am a sophomore at the moment, which is why I don't mention my year in school. Hoping that any employers that would just discard my email on that premise might give me more of a shot if I can get them on the phone.

  2. My actual work experience up to this point isn't relevant to finance, which is why I mention the finance club as the experience.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
