Intro to a broker

I was introduced via email to a broker at a top tier firm to ask for “pointers/advice”, I’ve been told that the team may be seeking a new hire soon. What could I say to put my best foot forward and try to convert that email to a possible interview?

Thanks for the intro, Joe Blow. Moving you to bcc so that Fuck Face and I don't blow up your inbox.

Fuck Face,

Great to meet you over email. Do you have some time later this week or next week to get coffee or lunch. I'm very interested in pursuing a career in (Fuck Face's space), and I'd love to get your thoughts on the market and any thoughts you might have for someone just starting out. Thank you in advance, and I look forward to meeting you.

Best,

Broke Dick III
