Self-introduction letter to a professor via email

Subject: Self-introduction email by Son Zhuo Yi

Dear Professor Fazilah, 

I am Son Zhuo Yi, currently pursuing Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering (Hons) at Singapore Institute of Technology as a Year 1 student. I am a fresh graduate from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering with minor in Business Management. After studying several modules related to engineering design, I found myself interested in creating technical drawings in 2D and 3D models. I naturally became more engaged, and the sense of accomplishment came along whenever I successfully designed a technical drawing.  

One of my communication strengths is that I am a friendly person and willing to engage in more conversations when needed. However, many of my classmates and friends stated that I looked fierce and afraid to talk to me. One of my communication weaknesses is that I lacked confidence when presenting and expressing myself to a large group audience. I am afraid that the statements that I expressed are irrelevant to my audience. I often panicked and forgot what I am going to say when performing a presentation.

My goal for developing more effective communication is I must tackle my communication weakness as stated. I am hoping that I can boost my confidence through this module and present myself confidently. Besides, I would love to improve my verbal and writing skills such that I can express my opinions concisely yet simple. In terms of writing skills, I need to reduce my mistakes in using short forms accidentally and refine my grammar.

What makes me unique is that I am a disciplined, task-oriented, and very independent self-motivated individual. I am willing to commit and put in the effort to actualize excellent results. I am a team player because I know that each member's responsibilities and actions will make each other's ideas stronger. 

I appreciate your time in reading this email.

Yours sincerely,

Son Zhuo Yi
