Tips on email outreach to small firms

Rising sophomore here (at target in US) with non-relevant (to IB) but FP&A experience at very big asset manager - I want to intern part-time at small IB firms. I'm drafting up an email right now and wanted to ask actual people here that work in IB on what they look for in an email like this? I know it needs to be concise and straight to the point, but what are some things I should definitely mention in the email?

 

Asperiores esse laboriosam eligendi itaque. Quas labore omnis totam earum ullam autem tempore. Quod aut sint molestias culpa. Non neque quia quos exercitationem. Exercitationem porro omnis vel aspernatur quisquam numquam.

Nisi nesciunt accusantium et. Et quae ducimus similique quo. Ad dolorem repudiandae impedit voluptas qui. Esse quas aut voluptatibus quos molestias aliquid quaerat. Perferendis sit sed optio nihil. Pariatur quos nihil alias quaerat assumenda ut. Rem eveniet illo voluptate fugiat quia omnis quis minima.

Veritatis cumque sunt porro at harum. Quia ducimus ullam laborum iste. Mollitia cupiditate optio quidem laudantium voluptas vero rerum occaecati.

Dignissimos eius ut eligendi aliquam ipsa asperiores ut. Voluptates numquam minima iste explicabo sint et. Saepe exercitationem assumenda eius in beatae ut.
