How to tell a professor your preferred name

Professor_________, 

I am a student in your [class name]. I am getting in contact with you to let you know that I identify as [preferred name]. My name will probably show up on your roster as [birth name], but I would prefer to go by [preferred name] and [masculine/feminine/gender neutral] pronouns. I will be putting [preferred name] on my assignments and would appreciate it if you called me that in class. 

Thank you very much,
[Preferred name]
