E-mail to potential future adviser

Jan 13, 2011 01:08

I'd like anyone who is reading this to give me their opinions they have about this letter. I'm going to send it in e-mail form to Karen-Sue Taussig of the University of Evansville in the hopes she will become my adviser... ideally on into my Masters should I get to continue. I don't know her but from what I've read she knows what it's like to want ( Read more... )

I would say take another look at the length of the first sentence...and also the wording. Other than that it should be fine.

Hey Meta, it sounds good!

I made a couple of wording changes. I noted the big ones. Other then that I shortened a couple of sentences. Take a look see what you think. Most of it's just surface stuff.

Good luck!

Doctor Karen-Sue Taussig,

My name is Meta Carpenter and about two years ago I graduated from the Minnesota State University of Moorhead with a Bachelors in Anthropology and an emphasis on Archeology. I'm interested in continuing on for a Masters and perhaps a Doctorate (if I find it financially possible.) I would take this out, if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't.

I'm writing to you because I was told to go ahead and contact the person who I wished to advise me in this process. Your fields of interest most closely match the direction I would like to go with my educational career ( ... )
