Instead of the e-mail, I probably would find someone who works at any company you're interested in or a position you'd like to have and schedule an informal interview with them. Your goal with this is not asking for a job but learning about the company, industry, dream job, networking, etc. Linkedin is probably one of the best resources for this.

@iamnikki Good. Keep doing it because it's a wonderful technique to repeat. Professionals use Linkedin.
