I meant you should read the papers of your prospective graduate advisors. Sorry if there was some confusion. You should ask the questions you’re asking on here, i.e. “how would you initiate a email communication with a professor who you would like to work with in grad school?” to your current professors, because they will most likely have better advice than we will on this message board.

And on the same note, if you are at a top 5 university, it is very likely that your professors at your school know other professors at top universities very well. So in addition to asking a question like “how would you initiate a email communication with a professor who you would like to work with in grad school?” you might also want to tell your professors what your research interests are, and ask them a question like “who would be some good professors for me to try to contact?”

Your professors should be able to give you good advice as to whom you should contact, and how you should go about contacting them.
