E-Mail to contact Advice

Hi all, I was given a contact from my Dean at school (non-target) ... I had asked her about a career decision and she recommended e-mailing her friend ...

MD at a BB - I had a friend who works there look him up in the database and he roles up under the fixed income group...

He is expecting an e-mail, but this is my first contact so I don't want to screw it up by saying something stupid or writing a long e-mail that will turn him off ...

Note that this is not for a position, but rather about advice he can give me... Does the following e-mail sound appropriate?

Hi Mr. XXXX,

I’m a current student at XXXX University and I was given your contact information by Dean XXXX. She suggested that I speak with you about a career decision and I am hoping we can set up a time and date where we can speak over the phone. I am really looking forward to speaking with you.

Thank you,
