Figure out what you want to do, look up the uni websites and find people who do what you want and sound like they could need the skills you have, and write a short email.
3 paragraphs is good, one briefly stating your field interest and interest in an internship. One detailing what you have done and can do thus far. And a last one giving an example of what you would be interested in doing with them, but leaving it open-ended. End by restating your interest and enthusiasm.
Also, attach a concise and clean CV.
Sadly, even though western academics can't shut up about inclusivity and diversity and the whole shebang, they might be turned off by cold calls from 3rd world countries. You should still try, though. I needed to send out about 30 cold calls to get just 1 good offer, and I'm from a reputable uni in a reputable EU country. Maybe try 100. It's hard work but it pays. The people who will respond to cold calls going just by your balls and how well you fit the project are actually also the people you most want to intern with.
For more help you can share an anonymized version of your cold call template here. I have quite a bit of experience with that.
