How to send short messages to foreign teachers in English is polite?

Dear dear dear/sir/madam (here is the title),

Sorry to bother you, I'm XXX. I am your student next year. The reason why I am writing this email to you is because I want to know why I want to use what kind of reference books next semester (so that I can have a look first). I hope your reply, thank you.

Greetings,

XXX (your name)

Are you sure that French teachers will like English? I also learned French. Conceptually, everyone seems to hate speaking English. Generally speaking, foreign teachers recommend us to read Man Kun's books in the micro-classic class. You can refer to it yourself first.
