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

For this kind of email, I would describe the problem at first, and I would like to add more details on the reason why I need help from him/her properly and how I would appreciate him/her help so that he/she would consider to give a hand.
i think if you want to write an email asking for help, in email you should include your problems, why do you write this email?, What do you need their help with?, let them know what do they need to do?, give time and date and Let them know how important they are.
An email for request should include brief summary of help, description of work what do you need, and last thank you.
