Bad examples
All requests, key points are buried in the email only:
• No subject line
• Important! Read immediately!
• Re: admissions
• Student application
Good Example• Should I include my volunteer hours in my application?
• Was my application submitted on Friday April 6 received?
• Website not taking my online payment
Use smart subject lines

Hello,As soon as I saw your message in my inbox Mail, I got so excited to hear back from you; because I believe that going to Bryant University is going to chance my life in a completely different way I believe I can achieve all my goals at University of Maine at Orono. I know that as an international student sometimes can be hard to learn a foreign language which it would be my case because I came to America last year with absolutely not knowledge of this new language reason why day by day I tried to prove to myself that I was able to learn a new language and at the same time work hard on my subjects. This year as my senior year I'm looking forward to be part of your University .
Thank you very much for replying back to my message I am very happy and hopefully be part of your community.
About the TOEFL test I took them last weekend but I haven't received my scores yet but , as soon as I get them I will have them send to you.And I was wondering if may you give me the chance to Skype at some point so you can get know me better?
