Formal Request Email template and format

A request email follows a predictable format, and once you know the sections you never have to think about layout again. Here is the standard structure with a copy-paste template, plus a tool to fill it in from your own notes.

How to use this template

The request line and the deadline are the two placeholders that matter most. Fill those in precisely and the rest of the email can stay almost exactly as written.
