Possible help with product design
Dear James,
As you know, we have been working on the new perfume that we are launching in April and we are unsure about some of the packaging details. We have seen some of your creative work in the sales department and we think you have a very good eye for detail.
Do you have some time before close of business this Friday to sit down with us and talk through some of our designs? We would truly appreciate your advice on this. It shouldn't take longer than two hours of your time and we would be happy to clear it with Patricia, your department head, if necessary.
Best regards,
Sarah Ford

What should you include in an email asking for help?
Greetings, introduce my self, what is the problem and what kind of help that I'm asking for. Last, I would say thanks.
i think for asking for help to someone need to mention exact date, time and meeting room no. as well.
What should you include in an email asking for help?
First, I have to know for who i am sending the message, probably it would be for any friend mine. So I'd ask for what i should do or what i've done is a good way to fix any problem
I think it includes: Time, location, who, to who, what need, why need, committee and thanks
What should you include in an email asking for help?
In an email asking for help, include a greeting, the purpose of the email, relevant details, and a polite closing.
What should you include in an email asking for help
I think that in a request for help email you should specify, first of all, the details of the request: what we need, why and why we are asking it from that person.
Then, you should also say within when we need it but leaving the other person more options.
What should you include in an email asking for help?
The first thing that I'm doing is paying attention to the formulation, to the subtil sense of each word. Asking for help can be quite badly perceive. So, to be sure that the favour' asking is truly kind, I include several "thank you" and "I will be pleased for your help". It's important for the helper to know that I will do the same for him/her. In addition to the good formulation, I can sometimes exagerate a bit more that the situation is to make sure that he/she would help me! But I'm kinda not laidback when I need to do a big request because I don't want to beyond the limits of the nerve!!!
