Dear Professor:

The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you that I am applying for a special class in research2 this semester.

My paper for research2 is about the american cultural history in the 20th century specifically from 1950-1959. I chose this topic because I find the events from these years interesting. As a professor who has specialization in twentieth century america, I will need your guidance for the completion of my research paper. (note: I want to ask if he could be my advisor in research but don't know the formal approach).

Hoping for your favorable response.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Sang Eun

Dear Professor [surname]:

I am a [nationality] student enrolled in a special class in Research 2 this semester, and my research paper is on 20th century American cultural history from 1950 to 1959. I chose this topic because I find the events from these years very interesting. As you have specialized in twentieth century America, I would like to ask for your guidance in the completion of my paper. I would be very grateful if you could consider becoming my research advisor for this project.

I think it might entail [3 or 4 one-hour] meetings over the next [2] months, during which I could seek your advice and comments on my research and the resulting paper. If you think you might have the time to guide me in this, please email me at ***@ ***.com.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Sang Eun
