سلام به دوستان خوبم.
بنده به استادی ایمیل زدم و ایشون جوابدادن که:
Dear Soheil
It's great that youare interested in joining my research group. There seems to be a nice matchbetween our research interests.

I will most likely take on new students next year. However, you need to applythrough the official departmental process. You can find more information at

Good luck,
XXX

بعد بنده به ایشون ایمیل زدم که:
Dear professor XXX
I appreciate your kindresponse and attention. Is it OK if I bring your name in my SOP as theprofessor that I want to work with?
Moreover, I waswondering if you could support my application in your departmental review.
Sincerely yours,
Soheil

و بعد ایشون فرمودند که:
Yes, you shouldcertainly bring up my name.
می خواستم بدونم به نظرتون در ادامهچطور ازش بپرسم که به صورت قطعی آیا من رو می خواد و اینکه آیا بهم فاند می ده؟
