To an advisor: 
---------------------
​Dr. XYZ,

Hope you had a good (weekend, holiday, vacation, week). I’d like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss my (plans after graduation, course schedule, research project). I can set it up with your assistant if that is easiest.
 
Thanks,
Your First Name

Cold calling or networking: 
---------------------
Dr. XYZ,
​
I enjoyed your recent article, “Title” in (Journal). I graduated from University of Y in YEAR and have been working at Company A on topic z the past few years. I’d like to set up a time to discuss your (career path, research opportunities) in person (over the phone). 

Thanks for your time,
Your Full Name
​
Signature with credentials and contact information

Another tip is to write out your email draft as you normally would, then re-reading it, realize that the last sentence is the most important, cut and paste it to the beginning, then send.

That's all folks.
