Subject: Prospective PhD student Dear Professor Driver, My name is [your name], and I am a [your current degree or role] at [your institution]. I am applying for a PhD position starting in [term and year]. I read your paper "Does the Locally-Adaptive Model of Archaeological Potential (LAMAP) work for hunter-gatherer sites?

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your SSHRC-funded project "People and animals in the Peace River region" (2019), and I would be glad to contribute to work in that direction. Are you accepting new PhD students for [term and year]? I have attached my CV and transcripts, and I would be glad to talk at a time that suits you. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, [your name]
