Friendly Reminder E-mail to Potential POI

[lordtiandao]

I e-mailed a POI two weeks ago and got a great response. He said he would introduce me to a couple of current graduate students and encouraged me to ask him some questions, which I did. However, he has not yet replied and I can only assume that he's too busy and forgot about it. What's a good way to write a polite e-mail to remind him about my questions?

Thanks in advance!

If you email within the same thread:

Dear Professor X,

I'm writing to follow up on our email exchange a few weeks ago. I know it's a busy time of year, and I'm just making sure my email wasn't lost in the onslaught.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Y

Great, thank you!
