Hello teacher,

After reading the article titled (.....) ”, I e-mailed Dr....... and showed in interest in volunteering at the lab. Dr........... advised me to contact you as you are the supervisor of the research group. In the past few days, I read some of you articles about SLE pathogenesis and found myself more interested in working at your lab. I believe that joining your research group will give me the opportunity to deeply understand the pathogenesis of autommunity and will help me to gain invaluable and necessary experience to move forward in my career.
