"To,

My name is ( )and I am a Finance student at (). I recently saw your profile on Linkedin. I have been interested in FX for a long time and have been pursuing a career in Sales and Trading. I wanted to know if you wouldn’t mind answering a few questions I have about COMPANY XYZ and your career path? I would greatly appreciate your advice and input.

If at all possible, I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you over the phone or potentially meet with you in person.

I know you are busy and appreciate any time you can give me.Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
