Subject: Prospective PhD student: Hypercoordinate Tin Dear Professor Foucher, 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 "Crystal structure of (E)-(benzyl-idene)(pyridin-2-ylmeth-yl)amine." (2015), and it connects closely to my own work on [your research topic]. [One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your NSERC-funded project "A high-performance, rapid-cure epoxy resin formulation for high voltage coils using radical-induced cationic frontal polymerisation (RICFP)" (2023), 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]
