A couple of months ago, a professor asked me to help him do some research i.e. take a research assistance position online. I was supposed to begin last week, but he has not reached out yet, and at this point I'm not sure if he forgot or changed his mind about this. I am finding it difficult to email him with a reminder. My draft of the email is below. I would appreciate any help.
Subject: Re: Research Assistance
Dear Professor X,
I was hoping I could begin the research soon. Please let me know how can I be of help.
Thanks and regards,

I think you jump in too fast, remind him of the circumstances first. Be more specific.
In March we spoke about me doing some research on one of your projects, and I expressed interest in doing that. If this position is still available, I am still interested and would very much like to pursue it. Please let me know either way.
Thanks and regards,
