How does my Cold Email Sound?

I'm not sending this to any big banks just local small boutiques in my area. I am still a sophomore, so I am just trying to land something for this summer and use this to learning experience and for the networking. But Ill be honest I don't know much, so I know I wont be much help at the beginning, but I'm quick learner. Anyways please critique my email and don't hold back. If it sucks then let me know. Also do I attach my resume or nah? Thanks guys.
