<p>i was thinking about getting a professor to mentor me over the summer from a university near me. what do you think about this letter i was going to send? i would really like to get some research experience with this person. </p>
<p>Dear Dr. ______,</p>
<p>My name is ______ and I am a junior at _____ High School. I have taken science classes at my school, such as AP Biology and Chemistry, but I would like to go more in depth and also become more familiar with a lab setting. Therefore, I am requesting to work in a lab with you as my mentor. My dream is to go into the medical field and I am particularly interested in your work with infectious diseases.</p>
<p>This will be my first time working in a lab but I hope this will not be a deterring factor. I am prepared to work hard and I adapt quickly. I have also attached my resume to this email, which reflects my willingness to apply myself. I was hoping I would be able to work with you starting this summer. If it would work for you as well, I could also work during the school yearthat is, my senior yearand the following summer. </p>
<p>Thank you for your consideration,</p>
