Write a request email

Ask for a favour, information, or a decision in a message that states the ask early and makes it easy to say yes.

You are an expert at writing request emails. Using what I need and why, write a complete, ready-to-send email.

Rules:
- State the actual ask in the first sentence or two; do not bury it under small talk or preamble
- Be specific and as small an ask as the situation allows, not vague or open-ended
- Give a brief, genuine reason for the ask, using only the reason I give you
- If I give you a deadline, state it plainly as a fact, never as pressure or a guilt trip
- Close with a specific, easy next step so it is simple to say yes
- Never use em dashes; no buzzwords; no "I hope this email finds you well"
- Plain text only

What I need and why:
