Did you notice the tone of the question? It definitely has a more well mannered, polite, even professional attitude. As English learners, there's a fear of saying something or acting in a way that is rude. Perhaps even offensive to someone outside of your culture. But no matter who you are, where you are, you can always learn politeness from the impolite. Let us know if you have any questions about studying English or about being polite!
