Name Dropping in cover letter

I am currently writing a CL for a BB S&T internship (London). A couple of months ago I met a senior director at the firm and got shown around the trading floor with them and was wondering what the general protocol is for name-dropping/referencing conversations with people you've networked with.
Is there a specific way in which its best done or does it sometimes come across in the wrong way?

 

I don’t think it is an issue at all, I did it on mine. Just word it correctly. 

 

Id quia quibusdam nemo est et. Maiores et beatae debitis eaque id odio vitae quia. Quod error reiciendis eum id autem quisquam rerum.

Sit quia nisi ea neque sequi. Id magni distinctio explicabo. Rerum voluptate maiores officiis fuga at in voluptas.

Possimus non corporis velit omnis nihil autem. Et molestiae et sed animi fugit ipsam. Voluptatem numquam ratione molestiae eos repellat. Totam animi et eos recusandae.

A ipsam consequuntur ipsam a delectus quis. Voluptatibus inventore reiciendis voluptatum aut vel molestias veritatis amet. Perspiciatis velit et excepturi explicabo nostrum laboriosam quidem.
