Cold Emailing from Exposed Deals?

All,

I am currently working on the corporate development side as an M&A Intern and have been exposed to a variety of deals with many boutique investment banks in the area.

For context, none of these are active projects anymore nor were some of them ever active. I just happened to run across a lot of their emails and built up a spreadsheet for cold emailing purposes.

I am going to be leaving the firm soon to get back to school, but was wondering, would it be ok to cold email the MD's of the Projects that they sent over through CIMs and say I was introduced to your firm via Project XXX while I was at this company?
