怎样给美国教授写信？

Actually, I did also have your concern. However after I wrote some letters to professors, I feel that the most important thing for you to do is try to find the subject you want to talk with the professor. Maybe his/her work, maybe ask for help of your application, or try to make an appointment to meet. The format is not crucial.Here are some tips for you:1. Try to be as succinct as possible. They will never like a verbose letter.2. Write your purpose at the first paragraph, so that the professor will know why you write this letter without reading the whole passage.3. Start with Dear Dr. XXX. End with Sincerely, XXX.4. Check your spelling before send the email.

Anyway, it might be better for you to write up a draft and post it here or somewhere else, ask others to help you develop it.

Good luck!

如何写给外国教授的套磁信？

不知道你的背景和你申请的专业到底差多远，其实你申请phd国外教授主要还是看你的研究能力，比如说你在读研究生的时候发表过几篇文章，都在哪里发表的，然后会了解你的文章里面的含金量，套磁基本没什么作用，读phd教授希望找到的是能够对他的研究有帮助的人，能够帮他完成部分research的帮手，所以我建议你最好多从这个方面下手，委婉的表达出他如果收你，你对他的帮助会是哪些，突出你的个人的研究能力，下笔能力等等。

。research proposal也必须是要跟他研究的领域课题能够衔接上的，你可以在信里面把这些表达出来，然后附带上你的research proposal，如果他对你有兴趣的话再进行深聊。

要知道，教授们收到的套磁信是很多很多地，你要把你的特点有靶可打的描述出来，才能让教授有兴趣了解你，呵呵。

。Good luck~。
