Subject: Prospective PhD student Dear Professor Maqsoud, 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 "Salinity and low temperature effects on the performance of column biochemical reactors for the treatment of acidic and neutral mine drainage." (2020), 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 "Valorization of metallurgical and mining wastes as cover materials in mine site reclamation" (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]
