Hi.
I am writing an email to a professor to express myself before admission decision is made.
I have sent several emails to him and he seems very busy to answer my mails and he makes short reply. I want to have a good begining expressing my apology for so much writing to him. I prepared a draft, so you teachers can commnet on it.
Second, I would be grateful if you tell me if using the word pushy and pursuasive is right here.
"Sorry to bother you with another email of mine. I do not want to sound pushy or persuasive towards my application but I want to fully express myself before a decision is made."
Feel free to change any or add anythings, All I want is a smooth and wise begining so he does not freak out receiving another email of mine.
Thanks for your invaluable time

If he sounds busy and answers briefly, you should take that as a sign and refrain from sending any more emails, including this one. It is certainly not necessary, and you will probably adversely affect your application. It is pushy and persuasive whether you think it is or not, and in Western culture we do not 'fully express' ourselves in this way during the application process.
