Dear $PROFESSOR ,

I am a PhD student in CS at FSU. 

I read the abstract for your grant "$GRANT_TITLE" and
read your paper $RECENT_PUBLICATION. I am interested in 
this research area.

My vitae is on the Web at

  http://www.url.com/~me/vitae.html

I see that you are teaching $COURSE_TITLE in the spring,
but I am not sure if I meet the requirements. Is there a time 
this week when you are available to talk briefly with me?
