My name is [Your Name], and I’m currently pursuing degree at university. I recently applied for [specific role] at Firm and came across your profile while researching the team.

I’ve spent some time interning for a private equity fund, which helped me get my foot in the industry, but I’d love to get your perspective on how I can best position myself for working with you guys. 

Would you be open to a quick 15-minute call sometime this week?

Best,

Name
