This video focuses on turning direct or casual requests into polite and professional business English. Many English learners sound too informal in emails without realizing it.

These examples are especially useful for emails with colleagues, managers, or external partners. The lesson is designed for adult English learners who use English in the workplace and want to improve tone, clarity, and politeness. By mastering polite business requests, you can build better professional relationships, avoid sounding demanding, and communicate more confidently in written English.
