Seeking email template advice.

What does everyone think about this cold email template for that initial outreach.

Hi Name, My name is XXXX and I recently completed my freshman year at non-target College. I’m currently interning at XXX as an investment banking summer analyst and I am interested in pursuing a career in investment banking upon graduation. If possible I would love the opportunity to speak with you for a few minutes on a quick call to hear some career advice and talk about your role with the {group} at {bank name}. I know you must be extremely busy, but I’m very flexible with my schedule and will do my best to work around yours. If you don’t have the time now, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I completely understand and will be grateful either way. I have attached my resume in case you wanted to further familiarize yourself with my background. Thanks in advance for your help. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, xXXX
