Dear Dr. Smith,


My name is XX XX and I am from the University of XX. I am in my final year
of a masters in Biology with focus on plant breeding research. My GPA is
86% and my TOEFL iBT is 100.

Make a connection and provide reasons to be considered: Use specific


references to make a connection between the work that you have been
doing and the research projects that the professor is working on. Important
points to include:

 Papers, journal articles, either published, accepted or submitted.


 Conference papers given;
 Scholarships won

My current research project for my master’s program is in canola breeding


for fungus disease resistance and I have just submitted a co-authored article
which was accepted by XXX. I have attached a brief research interest
statement with more details. I was reading about recent work in genetically
modified wheat on the website and it looks very interesting. I am interested
in building upon my master’s experience and expanding my research into
related areas. I have attached a copy of my C.V. for your review.

State your request; tell the professor what you are looking for.

I wish to begin a PhD program in XX in September YYYY and would be very


interested in working under your supervision. I would appreciate if you could
review the attached documents and let me know what the possibilities might
be.
