Subject: Tutor

Hello,

How are you doing today? This is Gregory Broomfield. I saw your contract at the Texas Tech University, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry under Directory's portal. I seek for a private tutor for my Daughter. I would like to know if you would be available for the job and I would provide you with more details of my daughter.

The lessons could hold at the campus/library or your home, if you staying close to campus.

If you would not be able to teach her owning to your busy schedule, you can recommend a students or colleague who is capable of teaching.

Looking forward reading from you.

Best regards,

Gregory.
