Subject: Prospective PhD student: Brachytherapy Dear Professor Crook, 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 "The American Brachytherapy Society and the American Radium Society Appropriate Use Criteria Genitourinary Committee Endorse the American Society of Clinical Oncology/Cancer Care Ontario Guidelines."

[One or two sentences on what you did and what you learned.] I also saw your CIHR-funded project "The impact of Monte Carlo dose calculations on prostate and breast low-dose rate brachytherapy dose-outcome relationships and radiobiological modeling." (2020), 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]
