Dear Dr. XXXX
My name is XXXXX. I have just received an email that I have been accepted to the PhD in XXX program at University of XXX. I also have been told that you have agreed to be my program advisor.

Yours sincerely XXX

Hello John

Do you have any suggestion for subject line? What shall I put in subject line to make sure that the professore will open the email and read it?

Maybe something like:
"From Sepid *** - PhD candidate."
If he's your thesis adviser, he'll recognize your name. That should be enough for him to open it.
