Email to a professor after a long time

Hello all!

I had an offer to work with a professor. But he didn't have any funding. But I am still interested in working with him. I had told him before that I would try to arrange some alternate means of funding. Now that I have alternate ways of funding I am writing him an email. Please, can you help me sound more professional!

Dear Professor,

I hope you are having a great day! Further to our email correspondence regarding the internship opportunity, I would like to say that I have talked with my parents and advisor (## Do I need to mention who is going to fund me or should I not specify the details?) and they have agreed to support me with whatever I wasn't able to cover. Is the opportunity still available? As I had mentioned earlier this would be a really important opportunity for me to learn and grow both as a researcher and as a person!

Thanks and Regards,
XYZ

Dear Professor Smith, I hope you are having a great day! Last summer, via email, you were kind enough to offer me an internship opportunity, subject to my obtaining funding. I have talked with my parents and my advisor, and they have agreed to support me with whatever amount I cannot cover myself.

Dear Professor McFarlane,

Last summer, via email, you offered me a position as a research associate, contingent on funding being available. Unfortunately, no funding materialized. In the meantime, I have arranged to be self-funded and will not need funds from the department for my support.

Is the position still open? As I mentioned earlier, this would be a really important
