Cold Email Template for Linkedin

Good Afternoon Monkeys,

As the title says, I was wondering if anybody has a cold email template that I could use to email recruiters and alumni for IBD positions. I recently applied for a position for an IBD M&A role that I really want and I want to be assertive and show her that I'm the right candidate for the role and that she should forward my resume to the hiring manager. I have been trying to write it for the past two hours, but I currently have a writers block. If anybody could help me out, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance!!

I mentor gave me this template and I think it words pretty well, considering that I ahve gotten a few responses using it.

"Hello Mr. XX, I see you are in investment banking and I would love your advice, as I would like to be an M&A investment banker. I know it may be a busy/off season right now, but I would love to hear your advice on how to best position myself to obtain an internship at "XX" for the summer of 2018 or the summer of 2019. "

Thank you very much,

Your Name
