Dear Prof XYZ,
Your paper titled, “Market reaction in European Capital Market….” really fascinated me. I found it very inspiring. (you can also talk which part are inspired you or about his other paper) My name is Ersa Tri Wahyuni from Indonesia and I am really interested to pursue my PhD next year in this area too. I had my master degree from Melbourne University and currently an accounting lecturer at Padjadjaran University in Indonesia.
I have written a research proposal and I am wondering if you are keen to provide me some feedback on my research proposal. Your feedback and inputs to my research proposal would be very much appreciated. And I also wonder if you are recruiting PhD students in my area of research interest.
Attached are my research proposal and my CV. Looking forward to your reply at your most convenient time.
Best regards,
Ersa

Contoh e-mail ini bisa disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan, tapi setidaknya kalimatnya sudah singkat, padat, dan jelas. Saya juga mengadopsi kalimat-kalimat di e-mail ini ketika menyebarkan e-mail ke professor di berbagai kampus di luar. Pastikan kalimat e-mailnya selesai dulu, baru kemudian mulai mencari Professor yang pas, lalu mulai kirimkan e-mail.
Bagaimana mencari kontak Professor?
Buka website universitas yang dituju. Cari bagian Department atau Degree, buka, kemudian cari nama jurusan yang diminati. Setelah menemukan jurusan yang diminati dan dibuka, di halaman tersebut akan tersedia semua penjelasan tentang mata kuliah, sistem belajar, termasuk Faculty Members. Di bagian Faculty Members ini, di website universitas lain namanya bisa berbeda, tersedia informasi tentang semua Professor yang mengajar di jurusan tersebut beserta kontak mereka. Alamat e-mail mereka bisa ditemukan dengan mudah di bagian ini.
