Dear Professor English,
I am sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to ask you a question the homework assignment that you have assigned the class a few days ago. I am having a lot of trouble understanding how to formulate a thesis statement for my essay. I know that we are supposed to take a position on the topic and develop an arguable statement, but I am having trouble actually expressing my ideas. I wanted to know if you can take a moment after class to sit and explain in more detail what you told the class. Would you be able to help me express my ideas more clearly? Let me know when you are available. I want to succeed and do well in your class. Thank you!
Thanks,
Francesca LoGiudice
