  International applicants seeking assistantship/admission: please do not send me emails blindly without reading this

  Every day I receive emails from international candidates for information,for advice, and especially requesting financial assistance. Unfortunately, I delete most of them without even reading them carefully. I get so many mirrelevant emails that cannot reply to each. Extremely rarely has one caught my attention. Please do not send me emails without reading this first. I am only interested in corresponding to candidates who are exceptional, and have a strong interest and experience in my immediate  area of specialization, and I highly prefer ones with a Master's degree.

  糟糕的套磁信Unwanted email

  Respected sir,

  I am very interested in going to the US for higher studies. I am seeking admission and financial assistance in your esteemed University.

  I am very interested in artificial intelligence and computer architecture. I have programming experience in C++, C and java. I am also familiar with several software packages in the Windows environment (MS Word, Excel V+ CSpreadsheet etc.). I also have networking certification from NOVELL. My GRE score is 2050, and I got 99 percentile in the TOEFL exam.

  I request you to spare a few moments from your precious time to go through my attached resume.Sir - if you are kind enough to offer me assistantship, I promise to work very hard for you. I have a very good academic record since primary school. Alternately, can you tell me what are my chances of getting assistantship from your department?

  Can you kindly inform me about the last dates for Summer term 2002 before which I can apply?

  Thank you for your valuable time,

  Yours obediently

  美国教授对这封糟糕套磁信的评价:

  My comments: I simply delete these emails, which I consider garbage . The person seems to be too obsequious and flattering. In the emails that I do read (occasionally), I do a first scan for keywords like "precious", "respected" etc. deleting the email if I find one. Obviously the person is not professional enough. The person is interested in artificial intelligence and computer architecture - these are quite unrelated areas, making me think that he is trying to cover as many professors as possible to get aid from any possible source. Besides, he does not have anything in support of his claim (about his interest in artificial intelligence). He emphasizes on his software skills, making me think that his goal is to get a programming job in the US and higher studies is only to allow him access to the US job market. His GRE scores are OK, but not exceptional. He asks me to tell him what his chances of getting an assistantship are, elsewhere in the department. I have absolutely no way of finding that out, and even if I knew, I would not bother to reply back. He also asks me to give him information about summer deadlines. How am I supposed to know that?

  I would typically expect that this information should be available fromthe University web site, or from the grad school, but my guess is as good

  Finally, this letter is too generic . He probably uses exactly thesame format for hundreds of email letters to various professors throughout the country, leaving no stone uncovered. I receive hundreds of email like this. Regretfully, I cannot answer veryone, and these applications do not interest me at all.

  通过这封糟糕的套磁信可以看出,美国大学教授对它的态度,以及它对美国留学申请的影响,因此,在撰写套磁信时,你需要做的是好好研究套磁技巧,多多参考优秀的套磁信范文,撰写出不让教授反感,而让其眼前一亮的套磁信。
