Headhunter cold email

I am trying to cold email head hunters and think my format is pretty bad. Here it is. Can someone please provide any insights / templates on how to cold email HHs? Thanks

This is my current format:

Hey Analyst 1 in PE - Other, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

More suggestions...

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
