I am considering sending the following e-mail to my Blue and Gold officer:

Capt (name of officer):

My name is (name) and I am e-mailing you simply to introduce myself as a candidate for the United States Naval Academy class of 2006. I look forward to working with you throughout the admissions process.

Respectfully,
(name)

Is this a good idea? Should I add more details about myself? Should I hold off for a bit? Any grammatical errors? Or even, would a phone call work better?

Any advice/input is appreciated.
