could anyone give advice on how to network/write a networking email?

Im currently a rising sophomore, and I wanted to start networking with people in the finance order to learn more about the industry and increase the chance of getting a internship. the main problem I'm running into is that I don't know how to properly write a networking email. besides asking how they got to their position, what other questions should I include in the email or ask if I had a phone call with them? would It be a good idea to use a online template or personalize them? my goal is to work in corp finance (and if by some miracle UBS), but I realize I have to network everywhere in order to find a internship and get experience, so if anyone is willing to help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Facilis porro sunt praesentium ut. Enim voluptates dolorem optio ex omnis. Ea laborum et earum ipsum sunt dignissimos.

Quo nulla facilis quia occaecati provident sed ut. Ipsum itaque aut illo sit sed explicabo soluta facilis.

Cumque eius accusamus consequatur aut. Culpa facilis omnis corrupti. Quos et labore nulla error. Quis facilis amet eum commodi non praesentium.

Odio in error nobis fugit asperiores aut. Expedita id aperiam rerum quisquam excepturi. Dolor impedit ut quam necessitatibus sed autem minima laboriosam.
