Please check my cover letter

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.. I would like to ask the forumers to check my cover letter for PhD. Thank you very much.

Dear Professor XXX,

I’m writing to apply for PhD in Mechanical Engineering under your supervision. I have enclosed a completed resume for your review.

I graduated in Mechanical Engineering (Industry) from University XX in 2003. Then, I pursued my Master in Engineering (Manufacturing) in University XX and graduated in 2007.

I would like to pursue my PhD in manufacturing process/system optimization. I had gone through to your research profile through website. From the PhD topics that being published in website, I’m really interested with research title “XXXXX xXXX”. However, I ready to do any other related topics in manufacturing process or manufacturing system optimization.

Right now, I’m working as a researher in University XX and predicted to start my PhD in 2010. As a government servant, I will be fully sponsored by Ministry of Higher Education for my tuition fees and living expenses in UK.

I believe that your expertise in advance machining will bring valuable knowledge and experience for me and my community here.

Thank you very much for considering my application and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely
