How Would You Consider This Cold-Email If Sent to You for an Open Position?

Any comments thankful. : D Appreciate your help! I feel so supported receiving the advices!

Hello FirstName (The Team Lead),

I will keep this email brief as your time is valuable. I found your contact on              and I am writing to you about the Trader position at your team.

I graduated from            University and worked as a            at            for           years. Now, I am a           (relevant role) at          , supporting our trading team with         (relevant responsibilities) . Though I currently live in           , I am originally from           (the city where the job is located) and looking to move back.

It is rare to see an opening at your tenured, successful team, and I would regret not reaching out to you personally. Would you mind to schedule a chat this week? 

Thank you,

Good idea & other monkeys already agreeing with you! I didnt want to come out as arrogant but instead overplayed politeness...
