Email signed request

hi there it's ann from world wide speak in this video i'm going to show you how to ask for something politely in an email we're going to look at polite requests in emails specific phrases that you can use and i'm going to show you several examples let's get started so we're going to start the email with um a friendly address for example dear mark dear mr fisher we might say good morning mark if it's morning time hi mark if this is somebody that i know well hello mark and hello mark notice that there are only so there's only a couple small differences in the last two i have hello comma mark period this is technically correct and hello mark comma this is more common so you can use either one whichever one you prefer all of these are great ways to start your email asking a request now we don't want to start with a request in the very first sentence let's do kind of an introductory sentence first this is more polite here so if i'm writing to a friend or somebody i know i might say i hope you're doing well or i hope you're having a nice summer or hope you had a nice weekend something like that or kind of reference the last time i saw them something about our connection together like it was nice to see you last week at the conference if it's a person that i don't know i might reference some connection that i have with this person this is a good thing to do in the first sentence that's very friendly i might say i came across your website as i was searching for english schools in houston or i attended your presentation last week at the miami trade fair or my friend jesse is one of your customers and he suggested that i contact you so you can use some sentence like this a variation like this as your first sentence and now we're ready to make our request here are some phrases that you can use could you or could you please it's a very nice and polite way to ask for something for example could you please send me more information about your schedule specifically could you tell me what time the class meets on tuesdays could you please tell me the prices would it be possible to would it be possible to change our meeting from 10 to 11 would it be possible to get more information about the different programs you offer i was wondering if this is a very gentle way to ask for something so we can also use it with could let me show you how it works i was wondering if you could recommend someone i was wondering if we could meet some time to talk more about your program now if your request is not urgent if you want to ask for something but you don't need it immediately sometimes i like to include a sentence like this to let the reader know that it's not urgent i can use when you have a chance or when you have a moment for example when you have a chance could you send me the finished document could you deliver the updated document to mr lee when you have a chance could you please call me when you have a moment so i'm going to end with thank you thank you so much for your help i really appreciate it i think it's important to say thank you here because i'm asking somebody to do something so this is a very nice way to include just a short sentence to say thank you in this email or thank you for all of your help with this i appreciate your help this is another way of saying thank you i appreciate your help then i'm going to sign off on my email with some polite sign off here are a few examples i can say best regards thank you sincerely and now let's look at some examples so you can see how all of these phrases work together in an email requesting something politely here we go dear dr smith i hope you're doing well i attended your presentation at the lone star conference last week and i really enjoyed it would it be possible for you to send me a link to the presentation thank you so much best regards and so you can see i started with dear dr smith i have an introductory sentence i established a connection that we have then i use the phrase would it be possible which is a nice way to ask for something and then i said thank you again and i had a nice conclusion with best regards let's look at another one here hello natalie i hope you had a great weekend would it be possible for you to to call these customers and confirm that they received their product thank you and so this one is short and sweet but it's still very polite so you can see that i know this person sounds a little bit more informal but it's still very polite let's look at another one good morning mrs powell thank you for all of your help with the cost estimate could you send me the finished document when you have a chance i really appreciate it best regards and so again i start with something polite i reference something like here is the cost estimate i make a request with could you and i said when you have a chance it's because this request is not super urgent and then i concluded again with a nice sentence saying i really appreciate it so i hope that this video was helpful for you and showed you different ways to ask for something politely in an email if you still have questions and there's something that you don't know how to ask for in an email and you'd like some help leave me a question in the comments below and i will be happy to help you thanks so much and i'll see you next time bye
