Quick cold-email question

Hey guys,

Just got access to CapIQ and I'm getting ready to send out ~100 or so emails to boutique banks in NYC area. I've cold emailed/cold called before, but it's always been with people I had some sort of similarities with (alumni, mutual networks, etc,). A few questions:

1) Who should I email? Highest up person or entry level/younger people? 2) Since I'm looking for something this semester, should I ask for an introductory phone call/informational conversation or should I be straight up about my intentions?

Thanks!

I actually meant this summer, I'm not sure why I put semester sorry! Do you think I should still be straight up or rather ask for an informational?
