Switch from boutique to JLL/Newmark/CBRE/Cushman - advice, top city

I have little to no connections at these firms besides 2-3 people I've kept in touch with. There are a lot of alumni from my school on the leasing side, but not on the investment sales side. 

Was going to cold email middle market & institutional teams at these firms to get on a call and see if I can pitch myself. Obviously getting intros through the people I know is best, but any advice on a cold email? I was going to say I'm working at a boutique, 1-2 years experience, young willing to work hard, looking to make a switch can we get on a phone and discuss it further. I feel the aggressive forward email will be something a broker would like to see. 

Any advice is appreciated.
