　　Dear Prof. Roger,

　　I am greatly interested in your program of education studies and hope that I could do my doctor’s degree under your instruction.

　　I graduated from Hangzhou Normal College in 2001 as an MA in psychology. I took such courses as juvenile psychology, history of psychology and other psychological studies. I am now working on a similar program at the education department as an assistant. My English is excellent as two of my college years were spent in the States.

　　Any favorable consideration of my application will be highly appreciated.

　　Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Xiao Xiao
