Writing a letter to Professor to introduce myself
Dear Friends,
I'm a international student who tries to apply to a PhD program in the US. To get a better chance to be admitted to the program, I want to contact some major professors to first, introduce myself and second, to express my interest in working/doing research for/under him/her. But since it is a letter to individuals who don't know me at all and who probably hold the power to my future. I have problem in wording. Please help in out!!!!! I simply need to know how to start the letter humbly but at the same time, plainly explain my intents and market myself. Please help me!

You do some research, find out who the professors are that you need to contact, and address them by name: Dear Professor xxxxx. Do not try to be "humble". Be honest and be polite.
