Reaching Out To PE Associates

Hi Everyone, 

I am a first year IB analyst interested in working in distress for control PE. I've been trying to reach out to a bunch of PE associates via linkedin but have not had much luck. I was just wondering what is the best message to send to associates on linkedin or any other methods to contact them?

Thank you
