Subject: Prospective PhD student
Dear Professor Macleod,
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 "Oral dosing of pentoxifylline, a pan-phosphodiesterase inhibitor restores bone mass and quality in osteopenic rabbits by an osteogenic mechanism: A comparative study with human parathyroid hormone" (2019), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.]
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,
