Cold Emails - Not as a Student

I haven't sent one of these in nearly five years, so any feedback to the below would be appreciated. Trying to keep short & sweet.

Name,

I hope all is well.

My name is Name and I'm a [POISITION] at Firm. I'm wondering if your investment team is looking to expand - My resume is attached for your consideration.

It would be great to connect over the coming weeks, depending on your availability.

Thanks, and please let me know your thoughts.

Best,

Name
