Use “WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR.” This is often used and you must use it when you are asking for a special request or favor. Other phrases for asking something to someone nicely are “DO YOU MIND,” WOULD YOU MIND, COULD I, WOULD IT BE OK IF, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO, etc.

Here are some better phrases to make polite requests in English:

• “Do you mind…?.”
• “Would you mind…?
• “Could I…?”
• “Would it be ok if…?”
• “Would it be possible…?”
• “Would you be willing to…?”

A request is when we ask someone for something. Since we are asking someone for help, it is important to be polite. These are not polite requests. They are in fact quite rude. People will be offended because they will think that you are giving them orders.

Asking for a favor refers to asking someone to do something for you. Use these phrases to politely ask for a favor. When someone asks you for a favor, you’ll have to either grant it (say yes) or refuse it (say no). Pay special attention to the form of the verb used in each case.

The polite way to ask is “can you do me a favour?” or “can I ask a favour?”, but that aside, in that context then appropriate responses could be “sure” or “of course” or “yes, what is it?” or “if I can” or “it depends on the favour” – these are all valid and normal (and there are many other options).

It is grammatically correct to say, “Could I ask you something.” You could also say, “May I ask you something?” to be extremely polite. “Can I ask you something?” is for a present moment question.

To get their attention to your request, use something like : “[Urgent] — [What you need here] by [When] — Thanks for your help! ” Then set the email as priority mail. In this case, they immediately know what you need without pressing inside your mail.

Consider these alternatives:

1. As soon as possible, or _____. Use this to say that something’s urgent, but can wait until a specific deadline if necessary.
2. Promptly. This one can serve as a nudge by suggesting the recipient has been less than prompt.
3. At your earliest convenience.
4. Whenever you’re able.

Fortunately, the structure of a formal email of request is very simple:

1. You start the email or letter by explaining what you are writing about (the topic/subject) and what the email’s purpose is (i.e. you want to ask them some questions or for something).
2. Then in the next section, you ask them the questions or requests.

Add a sense of urgency (…if it’s urgent) Another tip for getting opened is adding a sense of urgency to the subject line — if and only if it’s urgent. Using caps lock is great for this, but use it sparingly. Here are some examples: I need your spreadsheet ASAP.

Immediately / without further delay “As this matter is urgent, I would appreciate a reply as soon as possible.” “I would be grateful for your prompt reply.” “I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.” “I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.” (Slightly old-fashioned.)

Use formal but personable wording: “Hi. I thought I should check in with you to see how progress is going and/or if you have any questions you might have for me or if there’s something I can help you do if there’s any snag or clearing any questions for you”.

Just be polite and ask if they had got around to it yet. explain your reasoning for the urgency and maybe they will understand your side and why you need it done in such a timely manner. Don’t be blunt like hey did you do this that sounds like you have an attitude .
