Why do the thinking, when someone else can give you ideas?

Why do the thinking, when you can use the internet to ask someone else?

Good afternoon Sir, I am [name omitted] a student of Chemistry Education at university of [university and country omitted].

I am about starting my Undergraduate degree Project,

I will be glad if I can send my write ups to you subsequently to check and give me ideas.

I will be glad if accept my proposal, longing to hear from you soon. Thanks, yours Faithful.

Dear [name omitted]

Thank you for writing to me to tell me that you are about to embark on your undergraduate project. Your university should be able to provide you with a project supervisor, so if you are unsure about this, please talk to your tutor.

It would not be appropriate for me to check your write-ups and give you my ideas for your work. Leaving aside that I am employed to support students in my own University, your University would likely consider it cheating for you to ask academics elsewhere to provide input to your work.

Best wishes

Keith
