Cold email someone in HR?

Hello all,

I recently applied to an entry level position at a smaller company (between 100-300 employees). Usually, I will have an alumni from my undergrad that works at a firm I am applying to, but not in this case.

I found an HR person on LinkedIn, whose day to day most likely isn't related to recruiting for this position, but I am wondering if there is any message I could send them along the lines of: "I'm really interested in this position and here's why, could you point me to the contact person for this opportunity, or do you know anyone I could glean more insight on this position from"

Thoughts?
