Dear Professor,
I am writing to inquire about the availability of visiting scholar positions in your university in the springtime or the fall of 2009 and to apply for admission to your research group as a visiting scholar in the field of Bridge Engineering or Civil Engineering which you are specialized in. I am expecting to conduct some joint research with you and I sincerely hope that you will be my supervisor.
The Ministry of Education of P.R. China has approved my request as one visiting scholar to go to the USA for further research in the field. They will provide me with 1200 dollars per month along with a round-trip ticket as financial support for one year.
I am planning to stay in your research group for one year.
I would be very grateful if you could consider giving me a visiting scholar position. It will be my best honor if you receive me to your group! Again, I hope you can accept me as a visiting scholar!
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Very sincerely,
******
