1) Use the correct name / gender
This goes without saying but when you are not mailing a general inbox but a person directly, look up that person's first name and gender.
First impression is everything.

2) Context matters
When you are emailing someone out of the blue be personal and create context already in the first sentence.
How did you find the email? Why is this a good fit? How does your company fit the thesis of the firm?

3) Default to English

I promise it will save you a lot of time and confusion.

5) Write your company name in the subject line
It is very likely that the person you are emailing receives a lot of emails.
By putting your company name in the title it is more likely that they will find it when searching through the inbox + remember it more easily.
