Subject: Research supervision request
Dear Dr. Sallow,
I hope this e-mail finds you well. My name is Andrea Figueroa and I am a postgraduate looking to complete a Master of Research in Sport and Exercise Science. For my thesis, I am planning to investigate the effect of weekly football training sessions on the well-being of adolescents with PTSD. My principal supervisor, Dr. O'Connell, advised me to reach out to you because of your expertise in the realm of developmental psychology. I have read your dissertation re: the effect of foster care on individuals' ability to form romantic connections in their adolescence and thought it was fascinating. Thus my question: would you be willing to co-supervise my thesis research this semester? I have attached an exposé.
Kind regards,
Andrea Figueroa

Dear Andrea,
Thank you for reaching out. I have read your exposé and I'm intrigued by your research idea. I propose we meet in person with Dr. O'Connell next week to talk through the next steps. Does Wednesday at 10 work for you? We can meet in the cafeteria on main campus.
Best,
Oliver Sallow

Reading Dr. O'Connell's last e-mail, Oliver's eyes roll so far back in his head, he thinks he can see the back of his skull for a moment. It's just his luck to get roped into supervising a thesis from a postgrad in Sport and Exercise Science. He doesn't have anything against the department, per se, but he would be lying if he said he didn't find it hard to take it seriously; lecturers who arrive to class in tracksuit trousers don't exactly scream serious academic research. The fact that Dr. O'Connell apparently communicates solely through emojis doesn't help his bias.
