When writing an email, find out if people
prefer to use their first names or surnames.
When you make a request,
explain the reason for it.
You can make your request polite by starting it with 'Do you think you could … ?' or
'I would be grateful if you could … .'
You can finish the email with
'Best regards,' before your name.
