How to respond to cold email?

hey guys,

so I cold emailed a few boutiques and MM hedge funds around my area. I got a few responses from analysts and portfolio managers for meetings. I'm wondering how to respond to these though while confirming the date and time? here is something i drew up. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid here, but how long should I wait before I send out a response if I got an email say a few minutes ago.

Hi Mr/Mrs. XXXX,

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me. I will see you on [date/time] at [location].

Sincerely,

XXXX.
