Subject: Prospective PhD student: Aging Dear Professor Sénéchal, 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 "Is intensive behavioural change enhanced with dialectical behavioural therapy feasible for weight management in adolescents living with higher body weight?

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "Zoomers on the Go: Implementation of a Peer-Led Exercise Program for Falls-Prevention Across Canada" (2021), 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]
