Dear Dr. <Last name>

I was doing some research and found your paper in "<Journal Title you find it in>" titled "<Title of paper>" very interesting. Unfortunately, my institution does not have access to a Fulltext (PDF) of your article, hence I was wondering if you could share with me a e-copy. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,
