Cold emailing IB, PE , VC or any boutique firms

I’m a student in London with quite strong CV for a high school student,I’ve been on some programs at banks for finance and IB. I want to find some work experience in the summer. Do I have any chance with cold emailing maybe some boutique firms or will all reject me? Also what type of firm do you reckon I will have the most luck with? Thanks
