"To whom it may concern".
Long introduction detailing who they are.
Not a detailed subject line.
No suggested action to fix issue.
No sign-off.
Semicolon in greeting instead of colon.
Unnecessary details in second paragraph.

Long introduction about how the person wants to contribute but not what they propose to contribute. Purpose of e-mail is therefore not clear. It is only in the final paragraph that the aim of sending the e-mail (getting better office space) is revealed. There is also no clear request for a private office but the hope that the sender's expectations will be met, which also gives the e-mail a passive-aggressive tone. 

Poorly ordered paragraphs, no thanks or warm greeting at the end, and no ending salutation.]]> 2018-01-18 16:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkalkhove/sl6pxobj7u73/wish/222506666 https://padlet.com/mkalkhove/sl6pxobj7u73/wish/222506716 -the subject is not clear or complete
-the intro not concise as it contains too much personal detail
-intro does not state the purpose of the email(her objective) efficiently and clearly
-the middle paragraph appears to be unnecessary rambling about her teaching experiences; rather, the writer should go into detail about the problem she wishes to address
-no appreciation was shown to the reader for reviewing the email
-no solution was provided to the problem in question

To whom it may concern does not address anyone and is not preferable.
The purpose of the email and what you want to be done is unclear.
It uses a semi colon instead of a colon or more informally a comma.
You haven't listed your hours, location or any specifics so the person you are corresponding with would have to put in work or reply to you and ask to do any good.
