Roast my cold email - for alumni

Hi....,

I hope you’re doing well. My name is ...., and I’m a sophomore at ......, planning to major in Statistics. I recently learned about your experience in Healthcare Investment Banking and was inspired by your journey.

I’m reaching out because I’m interested in pursuing a similar path and have tried to explore this space through past internships, which I’ve genuinely enjoyed. I’d love to connect and learn more from your experiences—both at ...... and throughout your career—and hear what inspired you to specialize in Healthcare. I’d also be grateful for any advice you might have as a ......... alum navigating the industry.

If you’re available, I’d greatly appreciate the chance to chat and can adjust to whatever works best for you. I’m generally free after 12 PM throughout the week. I’d be happy to send over a calendar invite to make scheduling easier. I’ve also attached my resume if you’d like to learn more about me.

Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
....
