Subject:
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

I think the best way to ask for help is be kind and a little polite (depends of the situation).
I mean, we should start with a short greeting. Then tell him the problem and why his help is so important, so we can use someting like "Your job is amazing" or "you have strong skills on.." Finally we have to be flexible and thankful, so one way to respect his time is offer him some days to do it and finish with "we really apreciatte your help".
First thing that I should do is to introduce myself, add some greeting phrases to my mail, then I should explain my problem and say clearly what kind of help I need.
It is should incloud the problems they are face .
in my opinion i think you should explain your problem and the solution you need to be done
what should be included is
problem details
what do you need
when you need that help
ask that person if he is available
In my opinion , I'd like to ask for help to anybody . Initially, I explained a topic is very clear .Subsequently, i ask for help and could you help me to launch product (toys kids).
we need to include polite request such as:
+ I'd really appreciate...
+ Would you be able to...
+ Could you be able to...
+ Will you want to...
If you need a help from somebody, you have to start with a nice greeting, explain the kind of help that you need and what can the other person help you with, be specific for time, duration of meeting, take that permission that you need and show your appreciate and grateful for other person that provide the help.
I think the email should be brief as much possible as it can. using kind and vivid words to clear your request and help is very important. asking about whether that person can help or not without any pressure is very important and polite too.
I think the email has written pretty brief and complete. There is no other sentence needed. Because they are going to set a meeting about a specific subject. Then They will have two hours to talk through some of sales department designs
