I'm not saying that you don't have unique and interesting elements in your answer, but I'm uncertain how they contribute to making a better overall answer. | |

If a person is new to an organization (such as a company) there is often specific knowledge that they lack, but need. It is hard to "square that circle" and many mis-steps can be made. Furthermore, at least in my case, when I am new, I tend to have to interpret things literally. As one becomes more seasoned, one can add context. | |

As a suggestion, we like to try to explain why and how our answer can help solve the question's answer. Perhaps you could improve this answer by elaborating on what makes the addition of 'Please note:' and 'Thanks' make emails less arrogant and how the OP could apply it to their situation. Your suggestion of 'please' and thanks' is thoughtful advice that should probably be followed by all. | |
