Assignment 3: E-mail to a Professor

Pick a professor. You will address the e-mail to this professor.   (Underneath your email put a link to that professor's website so your teacher can take a look at it)

Write an email that would be appropriate for a high school student looking for a mentor to work for as an intern/volunteer or looking for a mentor that you would like to give you guidance on a project that you are developing. Write an email that is appropriate to your interests or goals. Write this letter even if you already have a mentor now. Write this letter whether or not you intend to work with a mentor this year. Everyone will do this assignment. Please note that even though this assignment is described as a "letter" it is actually an email. You are not going to be putting pen to paper for this assignment.

Compose a cover letter where you address the following questions:

1. Who are you?
2. What do you want?
3. Why are you interested in this particular lab? (Use specific details from the professor's website)

Underneath your email put a link to that professor's website so your teacher can take a look at it. Also write down what the subject line will be for your email.
