Hello
This is a sample email that I receive every few days from different people from all over the world. I am a PhD student and I am teaching at the university as a full professor of that course, but I cannot be a supervisor at all because I am a student and not a faculty member, I am only a lecturer.
First of all, I want those who apply to see what the person they are emailing is doing. Do not email PhD students or lecturers.
The second thing is that you write the text of the email correctly, the English grammar and rules are correct, and the meaning is correct.
It is not true that you write that research is my interest from chicken to Jon Adamizad.
The fact that you associate a topic that has nothing to do with me, that I don’t work in that field at all, shows that there is something wrong with me.
There is the next case, for example, you are working on the soil, we have something to do with electricity, for example, electricity, then you come and say that I specialize in electricity, if it doesn’t show you and your article or something like that.
The next issue is, don’t write in a commanding manner in the text of the email that you must accept me. I want you to give me a letter of approval.
Do not start the email text with “good day” or “good morning”.
This text is one of hundreds of emails that I receive (I am not even a faculty member, I am just a lecturer and a student myself) and maybe the author of this email is here and will read and understand.
Have a good day
I am from Iran. My field of research is “Geoscience, environmental science, using GIS, stratigraphy and paleontology, sedimentology, remote sensing, fluvial geomorphology,
I would like to inquire whether you are currently accepting students. I am writing this letter to you in order to find a suitable Doctorate (PhD) student research position in your esteemed research group. I hold my master’s degree in from University, and Bachelor’s degree in from University.
I have explored your department’s graduate school website in detail. Moreover, I have studied your research interests along with some recent publications and it seems like an excellent fit for me. I want you to accept me as your PhD student and issue me an “ACCEPTANCE LETTER” as my PhD supervisor, so that I can timely proceed with my admission application.
My CV is attached, please have a look into that. I shall be looking forward to a positive response from you. Thank you.
Best Regards
.
