Hi again! I guess the comment section won't let me do any formatting so here it is again below:


Dear Dr./Professor/Mr. X [depending on what his position is... I usually look at how they sign the end of their email and address them in that way],

I hope this message finds you well, and that you had a restful vacation. I just wanted to check in about my application for the Ph.D. program in [whatever the program is called]. Would you still like to get in touch on Skype to discuss it further?


Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you.

aAnd you can you correct my grammar in this message.

Hi Farah! Here are some corrections to remember: 

- Always use a capital I when referring to yourself. (i applied for a phd / I applied for a phd) 

- Always use capital letters when you start a new sentence. (so please, i need your help / So please, I need your help)

- Proper nouns such as countries always start with a capital letter too. (canada / Canada) 

- Remember to use full stops at the end of sentences. (polite letter to remind him / polite letter to remind him.)

- Use then for when you're talking about an event that follows "he then went home". Use than for less or greater 'this bill is more than I thought it would be". 

- With months you always say in. (on September / in September)

I hope this helps you :)

I am in a Ph.D. program in the US. I would write a short email something like this: Dear Dr./Professor/Mr. X [depending on what his position is... I usually look at how they sign the end of their email and address them in that way], I hope this message finds you well, and that you had a restful vacation. I just wanted to check in about my application for the Ph.D. program in [whatever the program is called]. Would you still like to get in touch on Skype to discuss it further? Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you. Farah --hope this helps!
