Quick Question about Linkedin

Hey everyone quick question. Current soph reaching out to boutiques and some of the people I was only able to get their linkedin and not email.

How do I go about cold emailing on Linkedin? Do I just send a connect request, wait till they accept then reach out or do I put my message in the linkedin connection request in the beginning? Also should the message be in the format of an email "Hi name, abcdefxyz, best regards" or only the content of email? Please let me know!
