Networking Template for Non-alum

Does anyone have a template for reaching out to people who went to other schools on LinkedIn? My hit rate with alumni is pretty solid; they're usually more than happy to help, but many of the firms I'm interested in have no alumni.

Whadup Broseph,

I'm a lil chimp trying to make it big. I see frrm your profile that you had this career trajectory that seems in line with what I want to do. (Find something of interest or that you can relate to) You dig? How about I get you number and I hit you so we can get to know each other and maybe you can give me some pro advice that you've learned.

With Love
