Fishing e-mail to Visit a Potential Graduate Advisor's Lab?

So, I realize I've posted about completing my Master of Science and was adamant about becoming a Professional Research Assistant. My graduate advisor was enthusiastic about my decision and supports me for a position at Univ. of Colorado Anschutz Medical in my respective field.

Upon re-reading my Masters thesis, having developed my hypotheses with guidance from my advisor, and having worked really hard at calculating a lot of biostatistics to support my hypotheses... I've finally concluded on pursuing a PhD in Epidemiology in relation to my respective interest.

Thus, my question - How to compose a letter to two faculty members/researchers in the field to welcome the opportunity to be considered for doctoral candidacy, but first to visit their respective facilities.

Many thanks~!!!!!!

ps - walked today in the graduate ceremony with my masters regalia. What an honor! :D

"Hi. I am interested in your research because of X, Y, Z. I will be in the area at this date ________. While I'm here, could I take a tour through your lab?"

I wouldn't over think it. Just state what you want, don't be awkward about it, and if they turn you down or don't reply back no harm done.
