A professor tweeted that he has a PhD position in his lab. I am trying to write a mail regarding that. How should I express that where did I find the advertisement?



Is it right to start mail like this:



Dear Prof. ZZZ,

I am writing to apply for the PhD position which was posted on your twitter.


Or should I write something else?

That is perfectly fine. The professor chose to use twitter as a medium of announcing the position. They are expecting responses to that advertisement. It's always a good idea to explain how you heard about the position. Your email does all of those things.
