Why do so many people expect templates/past examples? I think employers would want someone who can compose an email on their own.
I've somewhat phrased my post wrong (long day). I'm after some ideas of what to write in speculative academic job enquiries (in contrast to specific posts).
Eg. Is there a specific etiquette to follow? Do you keep it short? Write something equivalent to a cover letter for a specific job post? An example would help me ascertain answers to these questions.
I have no intention of copying it word for word (that would be bloody stupid) - but thanks for the patronising comment.
