What to say to coaches over email?

Although I won’t really begin to email coaches until the end of my spring season, my coach and my friends (who are rowing for college) have been debating about what to say to a coach over email.

If anyone here has ever had any sort of interaction with a rowing coach through email (preferably ivy), what did you say? Maybe some sort of sample letter? Do they care about stuff outside of rowing that may shape your characteristics?

I get they want erg times, stature, regatta’s, etc. But do they like to see formality? Or quick cut + dry emails showing that you’re truly interested.

All help would be appreciated!
