HOW TO WRITE A COLD EMAIL TO FIND A PROFESSOR (SUPERVISOR) FOR GRADUATE OPPORTUNITIES
Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to cold emailing. However, it’s important that your emails are brief and straight to the point.
💡 For each paragraph, target 3–4 sentences.
Here is an example structure for a cold email:
1️⃣ Subject Line:
Make it clear and relevant, such as "Prospective Graduate Student Interested in Concrete Technology [Name of Research]."
2️⃣ Greeting:
Use a polite salutation, addressing the professor by their appropriate title and last name
e.g., "Dear Professor Smith".
3️⃣ Paragraph 1: Introduction - WHO AM I?
- Introduce yourself (name, academic background).
- State your interest in pursuing graduate studies in a specific field.
- Mention relevant experiences or skills that align with the prospective supervisor's research.
4️⃣ Paragraph 2: Reason for Reaching Out - WHY AM I REACHING OUT?
- Explain why you are interested in the prospective supervisor's research.
- Reference specific papers, projects, or findings that caught your attention.
- Highlight the aspects of their work that align with your interests.
- Propose a potential thesis topic, research idea, or research questions related to their work.
5️⃣ Paragraph 3: Closing and Request for Follow-Up
- Express your interest in discussing your ideas further.
- Offer to schedule a Zoom or phone call to explore the possibility of working together.
- Express willingness to receive advice or suggestions, even if they are not accepting students.
- Thank the recipient for their time and consideration.
- Include your CV and transcript
6️⃣ Signature
- End with a professional closing (e.g., "Sincerely") and include your full name
If you do not receive a response, follow up in 1-2 weeks. And again, 1-2 weeks later. Still no response? Move on. Remember that academics are usually busy, so don't take it personally if you don't hear back.

The Currency called Favour.
A couple of years when I was Men’s fellowship leader, I got inspired not to have Men’s meeting at the church but rather in the homes of the men.
We went to any house for our monthly Pray and Grill.
Every home was important to us.
Conversations of Truth.
So why this write up about the Prophet and the Prophetic Ministry?
Divination has always been around since the fall of man. It was in Egypt and Persia and Babylon.
As a matter of fact, when the Ottomans conquered Constantinople, there was divination.
Happy New Year!
One of the great lessons the Holy Spirit taught me as I began to operate as a Prophet was: Wisdom and discretion.
It’s always exciting when you get certain insight by the Spirit or even information.
The accuracy can be exciting.
