❓Which email contains excessive flattery? (Flattery = praise, and compliments)

1⃣ Dear Esteemed Sir,

I very much enjoyed your recent paper in the Journal of Bacteriology. Your results were impressive, and your methods were very solid. I have worked with P. aeruginosa in my Ph.D. research as well, and I would like to continue working in this area under your knowledgeable guidance. Would you kindly tell me whether you have any postdoctoral positions available in your highly regarded laboratory?
Thank you for your time,
Pierre Raskolnikov

Dear Kitty,

When I was setting up the gel box yesterday, I noticed that the leads no longer fit properly. Should I try to fix them, or should we look into other options?

Thank you for your time,

❓In this email, which was written by the writer to a scientist that he does not know, there are some mistakes. Can you detect them?

📧From: Jackson Lunk
Subject: Postdoc?
Date: April 26, 2010, 10:05:32 AM CDT
To: Donald Smith

Hey Prof. Smith,

I’m finishing my Ph.D. this spring and am looking for a postdoc. I found ur lab page and thought I’d ask if u have any positions open. If u cld get back to me soon, that’d be great.

Hope to hear from you,
Jackson Lunk

✅Answer✅

❌The salutation — "Hey Prof. Smith" — is too friendly, 

❌The last sentence of the e-mail — "If you could get back to me soon, that'd be great" — is both too demanding and too casual. 

❌"Hope to hear from you" is not appropriately respectful. It is customary to thank the reader for his or her time and consideration.

❌Try to avoid using the kind of abbreviated language that is common in text or SMS messages. Instead of writing "u cld/ ur", for example, use full words: "you could/ your"

✅Corrected example✅

📧From: Kevin Li
Subject: Positions for postdoctoral researchers?
Date: April 29, 2010, 4:32:02 PM CDT
To: Donald Smith

Dear Professor Smith,

My name is Kevin Li, and I am finishing my Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at Brown University in May. I heard your presentation at the BMES Annual Meeting, and my experience in kinesiology and mechanical design overlaps well with your current work on gait analysis and prosthetic development. I’d like to continue working in this area, and I wondered whether you might have any postdoctoral positions available in your laboratory. Are you currently hiring additional researchers?

Thank you for your time,
Kevin Li
