Suggestion for short email text to very senior alumni from alma mater?

Please suggest format for cold email.
Also if e-mail is to very senior alumni (and by that I mean graduated years ahead of me) at bank but not necessarily at office I want, or will be sent without knowledge of whether there is a job there, does this work? Emphasis on does this work.
Edit: Assuming I now applied to a job at the firm, say at New York office but alumnus is at other city office how would that benefit me?

 

So I now have a phone chat scheduled with an MD from firm where I applied. He went to my alma mater but also went to business school following (where I did not). What questions should I be armed with/what is goal of this conversation?

 

Do it. You will never meet them face to face if you don't. I've had calls with a few people who I have never met in my life. You could get ignored or eventually gain an offer. Either way you will be better off then when you started. Send the message, write the email, make the call. Good luck
