MD at Big Canadian Bank

Hey,

One of my family members contacted one of his old buddies from high school, who just so happens to be an MD at one of the large Canadian banks (RBC, CIBC, TD), to ask him about summer internship opportunities for a freshman at a target school in Canada. He explained that the job market is pretty dire right now but said that he would see if anything could be done and wants to set up a phone call.

I realize that it's probably pretty important to impress this MD since he most likely does not want to waste his time on some kid that knows next to nothing, so I was wondering what types of intelligent questions I could ask him to maybe lead to him forwarding my resume to the HR department.

(I know similar questions have been asked before, but I thought my situation was a little different considering he is not alum from my program and since I'm a freshman)
