How to send a proper reminder email?

The MD of an MM investment bank I reached out to months ago told me to contact him again in January regarding a part-time internship. This bank doesn't have formal internship program per se, but the MD told me he had several interns work for him in the past and referred me to one his recent intern to inquire details about the experience.

I know I'm probably overthinking it, but this is an MD and I don't want to sound too casual. How about this?

Dear ______,

I hope you had a great holiday season.

I'm XYZ and we spoke months ago regarding a part-time internship opportunity at [your company]. I will be returning to school on [date] and I am free [insert time slots] to discuss how I can help out in the upcoming months.

Sincerely,

XYZ

Don't tell him when you are free. Tell him when you'll be back and ask when he is free, and if he is available to speak with you regarding XYZ
