My name isXXX, I graduated fromXX, and obtained my Master Degree in XX. Now I'm working as a landscape designer in a design company named XX. My TOEFL score is 101, and my Japanese learning is ongoing. I write this letter to inquire whether there is an open position as a Ph.D. student available in your research group.
After reviewing your laboratory website, your research aboutXX deeply attract me, especially XX, which it's also my most interested field. It's clear to see the humanistic meaning and the urban cultural context you have expressed in your research. Your research experience in this field is really respectable. As an environmental art design-majored student and an urban landscape designer, I'm always passionate about doing spatial studies based on the understanding of urbanism and present social issues. I believe that there would be a good fit between your research experience and mine. So I write to you to see whether there is any chance for me to work under your supervision in the future.
My CV and portfolio are attached, and you can also find my portfolio on XX
Thank you for reading this letter, looking forward to hearing from you and discuss further issues with you later.
