how should I write my first email to co-supervisor?
Two ideas only. I don't think you need to praise him in an initial note. Just mention the general area in AI that you want to explore.
But the meeting should be at his convenience. Rather than tell him when you are available, let him set the meeting. If necessary you can indicate when you cannot meet if that is relevant.
You can thank him and tell him you are looking forward to working with him when you actually meet.

My supervisor introduced me to a professor who has (already) accepted to be my co-supervisor, and wanted me to contact him and make an appointment. I want to write an email, but I do not know exactly what to write. My supervisor raved about his knowledge.
How can I explain my purpose of contacting?
Is the following a good email?
Dear xx
My name is ++++ , and I am a master student and my supervisor is Dr.+++++.
First of all, I would like to thank you for agreeing to be my co-supervisor.
I have read and heard a lot about your achievements and your extensive research experience in the field of artificial intelligence systems. so, I would like to discuss with you on topics such as AI, Machine learning which will help me get started in the right direction.
Would it be possible to meet with you to further discuss?
I am available Days and Times.
Kind Regards,
++++++

Austin Henley over 5 yearsWe don't know what you should write either. We need more context -- what is the purpose of this email? Have you met the person before?

Thomas over 5 yearsThe content of the email depends on what you want. You haven't specified what you want in your question, so we can't tell you what to write. I'm voting to close as unclear.

Elad Den over 5 yearsXX means kiss kiss, no? I'd drop that. Keep in mind that your co-suepervisor, though respected and awesome, is a person, and is not likely to go berserk because a student made a little error in an email. Also, wouldn't it be interesting if that co-supervisor is active in this forum?

Flyto over 5 yearsThis question was closed as unclear, so the asker edited it... by removing all but one word? I am very confused.
