Dear Dr.XXX, （为表示尊重,最好是称呼对方为XX博士,或XX教授,不要不出现具体的姓）
Sorry for disturbing you with this letter.
I'm one of the students of your class for first-year graduate. I admire your knowledge and teaching style, and next year I hope to apply to be your graduate student.
In my first and second graduate years, I was so busy with my company affairs that I didn't select a tutor. My GPA score is 2.8. As my original plan was to develop myself in structure area, I didn't take too many lessons in soil mechanics. In the next half year, I plan to continue my study and finish the lessons for Advanced Soil Mechanics.
I do hope to be your graduate student.
Although my score on paper seems not excellent, I've put a lot of efforts in practice by my hard work on site. I had been a construction quality inspector in XXX Construction Company for XXX and got high appraisal for my work.
I applied my knowledge on the site and now I've the strong feeling that it's time to strengthen my knowledge.
（你的工作经验中,工地施工员是比较有价值的.我加写这一句,就是说原来你是到工地学以致用,现在用完了你又感觉到自己不足,回来再学很有动力.）
The current task I give to myself is to read again the soil mechanic books of the university period. As I finished my university lessons in mainland China, in this summer vacation, I plan to read some books related to soil mechanics, civil engineering materials and so on, in English versions.
Do you have any good recommendation?
If it is possible for you to spare me several minutes, and give me some advices for my study preparation face to face, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
Best Regards,
XXXX
