I am a junior faculty in Dr. Y's group and I work in close association with Dr. Y. We share common interests that involve ...... Dr.Y forwarded me your request for exploring an opportunity to work in our lab. We do have multiple projects running in our lab that may be of interest to you. Before we can commit to anything, we would like to know about your ability to support yourself financially (as you specified in your letter) and what are your expectations from our side. Also please let us know what documents you might need to move this forward. After reviewing, we would like to set up a meeting with you via skype that will give all of us a chance to discuss your goals and our work.
