Hi Professor Lago (You can write Dear Professor, Hi Professor, or even just my name, but good email etiquette requires you to address your letter to me),
It's Maria Smith (Identify yourself by first and last name! I have many students. I can't identify you just by your email). I am in your Tuesday/Thursday 101 class that meets from 2:10-4:00 (Or you can put your section. For example ENGL-101-K13. You MUST identify which class you're in because, again, I have many students. I may even have more than one named Maria). I'd like to make an appointment with you to talk about the draft that's due next class. Will you be in your office tomorrow at 2:00? (Be as specific as possible about what you need. If you just tell me, "I don't understand," I won't understand either).
Sincerely,
Maria Smth (Sign off. It's only polite. You might even want to say thank you, but that's not necessary. Also, make sure to identify yourself by your first and last name)
SPELL CHECK AND PROOFREAD YOUR EMAIL! You want your message to be clear and understandable.
