how to write a letter requesting presentation

Presentation request letter

When a company or individual is interested in buying a service from another company or individual, they may request to have a presentation done. This serves a couple of different benefits but the main benefit is to show the company that the service is worth their time and the cost. A presentation request letter will be sent out and then the presenter has to choose whether or not to respond.

When giving a presentation, it’s best to highlight the key features that will benefit the person being presented the product rather than yourself. Obviously everyone knows the presenter will make money but during a presentation request, you need to focus on the person who will be buying the actual product.

Starting to Write

Ask the individual to present a presentation of their service or product to you or your board. Usually a presentation at a corporate level is done in front of a board or committee.

Ask the presenter when they would be available for a presentation.

Ask about the price and the key benefits of the service so you have the information handy and can bring it up again during the presentation.

Sample presentation request letter

Dear Allen with Smart Systems Inc,

I would like to have you come into our board meeting room and present a presentation of your spreadsheet software. I would like to know when the soonest available date you have is for a presentation and if you would be willing to come in sometime in early August? Also, could you kindly outline the key benefits and the price of the service so that I may reference it while you’re giving your presentation as well? Thank you again and I look forward to getting your response.

Letters of request can serve many purposes, and at some point, you’ll likely have to write one. Whether it's to ask for a charitable contribution, a chance to make up a missed exam, a meeting with an expert in your field, or a document you need for a report you're writing, the style for writing these letters remains the same. If you need to write a request letter and don’t know where to begin, check out our handy guide below to make your letter more professional and persuasive.

Things You Should Know

• Type your letter of request in a single-spaced legible font, like Times New Roman, and maintain an extra space between paragraphs.
• Introduce yourself in the first paragraph, and briefly address why you are writing.
• Describe your request more fully in the body of the letter, maintaining a respectful tone throughout. Be thorough but concise when you make your request.
• Close your letter by letting the recipient know when you need your request fulfilled by (if there is a deadline) and thanking them for their consideration. Sign off politely.

• You may also include a subject line after the recipient's address, but this is optional.
• Some people prefer to receive hard copies of your letter, but in some instances, sending your letter of request as an email may be acceptable. In this case, you won’t need to include the full address of the recipient, but still include your contact info.

• If you know the person you are writing to, you can use their first name, e.g. "Dear Tim." Otherwise, use the person's last name and the proper title, (eg. Dr., Mr., Ms. or Mrs.).
• If you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to, use a salutation like "Dear Sir or Madam," or "To Whom It May Concern."

• If you have had any previous interaction with the recipient of your letter, the opening paragraph is also a good place to remind them of the nature of your association or the contact you've had in the past.
• For example: "I am a student in your drama 101 class," "I'm the president of the Boston Citizens Charity Fund, an organization you've generously donated to for the last 10 years," or "I contacted you last month about the possibility of a class trip to your amusement park."
• Establishing a connection may promote feelings of affinity with you that might increase the chances of your request being granted.

• Be thorough but brief when asking for what you want . Clearly explain what it is you are requesting and why the matter is worthy of consideration, but don't share your life story.
• Leave the reader with no doubt as to what you want. For example: "I'm hoping you'll consider repeating your generous contribution this year," or "I'd like to respectfully request an opportunity to resubmit this paper."
• Be factual, but be courteous, and keep emotions in check. For instance, opt for "I was very disappointed when I saw my grade. I would appreciate the opportunity to retake the exam" over "I'm so mad about this grade and I want a do-over!"

• For example, if you’re writing to request information or a meeting with someone that must occur before a certain date to be of any use to you, politely make that clear in the conclusion.
• Even if your recipient ultimately does not grant your request, the fact that they have taken the time to read your letter and consider your wishes is worthy of thanks.

• If you’re sending a physical letter, leave 4 lines of empty space between the closing and your typed name. In this space, sign your name with a pen.
• If you’re enclosing any materials with your letter, insert this information after your closing, e.g. "Enclosures: 2."

• Try not to write your letter of request at the last minute. However, if you don’t have the time to let the letter incubate for a few days, enlist a friend to read it over for you before sending it off. They’re likely to catch errors you may have missed.

• A good way to assess your writing is to read your letter out loud. This will help you to notice any missing words and generally get a sense of whether the language flows well and strikes the appropriate tone.
• Try reading your letter backwards. This will help you catch grammatical or spelling errors you may have skimmed over while reading straight through. [7] X Research source

• It's a good idea to have someone else read your letter for this purpose as well. It’s much easier to overlook your own errors. [8] X Research source

• If you’re struggling to begin brainstorming , get 3 blank pieces of paper and label them "why I am writing this letter," "the purpose of this letter," and "other thoughts."
• Without worrying too much about details, take a few minutes and list your thoughts about the letter on these 3 pieces of paper.

• For example, what is this person's position, and how can they be of help? Will this person be making a final decision about your request, or making a decision about whether or not to pass your request on to a higher authority?
• It's also a good idea to consider the recipient's knowledge of the topic you’re writing about. If your reader is not well-versed in the topic you are writing about, this will necessitate a different type of writing (i.e., use of simpler language and the inclusion of more background information) than if your recipient is already an expert on the matter.

• Consider the main points you want to make and the secondary points you’ll use to support those points. Make sure your ideas are organized in a way that will make sense to your reader.

Community Q&A

• Make your request confidently and persuasively, but don't make demands. Don't try to manipulate your reader with emotional appeals, threats, or unrealistic promises. These types of appeals are more likely to offend your reader than persuade them. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 2

Business letter format

A business letter is a formal way of communication and that is why it requires a special format. You may not care of the letter format too much if you are sending an e-mail, but if you are writing a traditional paper business letter, the below recommendations may prove helpful. It is considered a good practice to print out a business letter on standard 8.5" x 11" (215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) white paper.

You needn't write the sender's name or title, as it is included in the letter's closing. Type only the street address, city, and zip code and optionally, phone number and email address.

• Date . Type a date a few lines below the letterhead or return address. The standard is 2-3 lines (one to four lines are acceptable).
• Re: Invoice # 000987
• Re: Your letter dated 4/1/2014
• On-Arrival Notices (optional) . If you want to include a notation on private or confidential correspondence, type it below the reference line in uppercase, if appropriate. For example, PERSONAL or CONFIDENTIAL.
• Attention Line (optional). Type the name of the person whom you're trying to reach. If you wrote the person's name in the Inside Address, skip the Attention Line.
• Dear Dr. Brown:
• Dear Ms. Smith,

If you do not know the recipient's name or are not sure how to spell it, use one of the following salutations:

• Dear Sir or Madam
• To Whom it May Concern
• LETTER OF REFERENCE
• COVER LETTER
• REQUEST FOR PRODUCT REPLACEMENT
• JOB INQUIRY
• Body . This is the main part of your letter, usually consisting of 2 - 5 paragraphs, with a blank line between each paragraph. In the first paragraph, write a friendly opening and then state your main point. In the next few paragraphs, provided background information and supporting details. Finally, write the closing paragraph where you restate the purpose of the letter and request some action, if applicable. See tips on writing persuasive business letters for more details.
• Respectfully yours (very formal)
• Sincerely or Kind regards or Yours truly (most useful closings in business letters)
• Best regards, Cordially yours (slightly more personal and friendly)
• Signature. As a rule, a signature comes four blank lines after the Complimentary Close. Type your name below a signature and add a title, if needed.
• Enclosures: 2
• Enclosures (2)

10 tips to write persuasive request letters

Below you will find 10 strategies to write your request letters in such a way that they convince your reader to respond or act.

• Know your addressee . Before you start composing you request letter, ask yourself these questions. Who is my reader and how exactly can they help me? Are they decision makers or will they just pass along my request to a senior officer? Both the style and contents of your request letter will depend on the reader's position.
• Do not be verbose . Be clear, brief and to the point. A rule of a thumb is this - don't use two words when one would suffice. Just remember the famous quote by Mark Twain - "I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead". A person in his position could afford that, and… he was not requesting anything : )

Here's a very poor example of a cover letter: " In every regard, my qualifications appear to be consistent with the desires expressed by your advertisement and based on the voice of your company's blogs, I really think that I was meant to be a [Position] in your company."

And this is a good one: " I have good skills and experience in [Your area of expertise] and I would be most grateful if you consider me for any suitable position."

• Add call to action . Put action in your request letters wherever is possible. The easiest way is to use action verbs and the active voice rather than passive.
• Convince but do not demand . Do not treat your addressees as if they owe you something. Instead, catch the reader's attention by mentioning common ground and emphasize the benefits of acting.
• Do not be burdensome . Give readers all the information needed and tell what exactly you want them to do. Simplify the job for the person to respond - include contact information, direct phone numbers, give links or attach files, whatever is appropriate
• Write in a friendly way and appeal to the reader's feelings . Though you are writing a business letter, don't be superfluously businesslike. Friendly letters make friends, so write your request letters in a friendly way as if you are talking to your real friend or an old acquaintance. We are all humans, and it may be a good idea to appeal to humanity, generosity, or sympathy of your correspondent.
• Remain polite and professional . Even if you are writing an order cancellation request or complaint letter, remain polite and courteous, simply state the issue(s), provide all relevant information and be sure to avoid threats and calumny.
• Mind your grammar ! Rephrasing a well-known saying - "grammar counts for first impressions". Poor grammar like poor manners may spoil everything, so be sure to proofread all business letters you send.
• Review before sending . When you have finished composing the letter, read it aloud. If your key point is not crystal clear, write it over. It's better to invest some time in re-writing and get a response, than make it fast and have your letter thrown away in a bin straight away.

Samples of request letters

Below you will find a few examples of request letters for different occasions.

Sample letter of recommendation request

Dear Mr. Brown:

I hope you are doing well. I have warm memories of your remarkable leadership and support for teachers during my employment at XYZ High School.

Presently, I am applying to XYZ school district and am required to submit three letters of recommendation. I am writing to ask if you would write a letter of recommendation on my behalf.

I would like to provide you with some background information that may assist you, should you decide to write this letter <your background information>.

Request for information

Thank you for submitting your resume in response to the <position> we advertised. In addition to your resume, we also need three references and a list of past employers for the past three years, along with their phone numbers.

Our policy is to thoroughly review the background of each candidate in order to select the most suitable person for this job.

Request for character reference

<Applicant> has applied with our company for a position in our <department>. He / she has given your name as a character reference. Would you be kind enough to provide us with your written evaluation of this person.

Donation request

I am sending this to you as a fellow member of our community. I'm sure that you value living in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, just like I do.

You know, sometimes in order to keep one's community quiet and peaceful one has to take action. As you may know, our local Community Committee has been meeting over the past two months to try to find ways to reduce the break-in rate in our area. Last week they released their recommendations on how best to combat that problem.

Their primary recommendation calls for increased police and security patrols to supplement the local Neighborhood Watch program. Unfortunately, the needed amount is not included in this year's municipal budget allocation.

Therefore, as a concerned member of this community I have decided that my business will donate $ for every $ raised in the community to cover the additional security costs. I urge you to join me today in supporting this worthy cause for our common good.

To make your donation today you can drop in to either one of our two stores and deposit your donation in the boxes provided near the front cashes. If you can't make it to the store, please send a check or money order, made out to "XYZ" and mail it to the address listed above.

Requesting a favor

I am writing you to ask you for a favor that I hope you could do for me.

In less than three months I will be taking the <Examination>, with the hope to enter the <University or College>, where they have the best graduate school program for the course that I am interested in.

The school places an extremely high emphasis on a student's success in the exam, which is why I feel extremely pressured to get an above average score on the Graduate Record Examination.

Because you recently graduated with a degree in <science>, you are naturally the first person I thought of when considering who I could approach to assist me. I am not asking for too much time, I would really appreciate any pointers you could give me and a few lessons on the <sections>, which I feel are my weakest points.

Request for product return / replacement

On <date> I placed an order for the <product>, received it on <date>. I have discovered that the purchased product has the following problem: <add details>

Since the product you delivered is not of satisfactory quality <is not fit for the purpose>, I am entitled to have it <repaired / replaced> and I would request that you confirm that you will do this within the next seven days. I also require you to confirm whether you will arrange for the <item> to be collected or will reimburse me for the cost of returning it.

And this is all for today. Hopefully, this information will help you compose properly formatted business letter in general and persuasive request letters in particular, and always get the desired response. Thank you for reading!

I understand that with their help, the offer that SHRA had presented to myself. Could now be successfully fullfilled. I believe COVID-19, with all of it's reprocussions, was the cause of this oversite. Once the nationwide shut down took hold, none of my calls were returned. Along with the SERA program which consumed the Sacrament SHRA office. At this point I only attempted to contact SHRA every 3 to 4 months.

By doing this, you will have provided a disabled senior citizen, the ability to maintain their independence, to feel safe and secure in their home.

Request for meeting email with samples and templates

Manage meeting requests like a pro with our in-depth guide to writing the best meeting request emails.

Table of contents

Meetings are the social glue that keeps organizations working together. In meetings, we share information, discuss projects and decide the future of our careers and the companies we work for.

But before we have any great meetings, we must send a great meeting request email.

How to request a meeting via email

Don’t believe us? In this article, we’ll break down the steps to write better email meeting requests. We’ll learn from the pros about what to include, unlocking the secrets of successful emails. You’ll never find yourself sitting in an empty room or staring at an empty Teams screen again. 

With some help from Flowrite, everyone will want to attend after they get your email – so you better ensure the meeting is worth it!

Basic rules of meeting request emails

1. invite as few people as possible.

The world is experiencing meeting madness,’ says the academics writing in the Harvard Business Review . The average executive spends 23 hours weekly in meetings, leaving little time to do what they’re paid to do.  

The more people there are in a meeting, the less efficient they are. 

• Problem : Too many people are invited to meetings they don’t need to attend
• Solution : Don’t invite them

Start with those people who have to be there and invite them and nobody else.

Meetings with more people also tend to be less efficient. The more people there are to speak, the longer and harder it becomes to hold the conversation.

How many people is ideal, then? Well, as with most things, it depends. But generally, keeping online meetings to 2-5 people is good practice. You can always keep others in the loop by recording the meeting and sharing clips using tools like tl;dv or taking notes and sharing them afterward.

2. Check calendars to see potential times

Is your calendar a solid block of booked-out time with no breaks at all? That’s because meetings have increased an incredible 70% since the covid pandemic .

When proposing a meeting, it’s a great idea to check that the people who matter are available. (Before checking calendars, see the tip above.)

If you don’t have access to calendars, you can set up an online poll to find a suitable time. If it’s critical that a meeting occurs on a specific date or at a particular time, then go with that.

When asked to attend by your boss, MD, CEO, or senior manager, people will often make the time or face the consequence.

3. Be clear about why the meeting is needed

It sounds like common sense, but state upfront what the meeting is about, what you’re trying to achieve, and why the person (or persons) are invited.

Think of it like a play with five acts:

• You’ve got a problem that affects all of you in some way
• At the meeting, you’ll discuss the problem and agree on a solution
• The people in the meeting will be responsible for delivering the solution
• Problem is solved 
• Everyone lives happily ever after (until the next crisis)

If your meeting request contains parts 1-4, you’ll achieve 5.

4. Send a meeting agenda in advance

Before your meeting, send out an agenda to everyone. As well as breaking down the process of the meeting, an agenda acts as a timely reminder. 

If you’ve been to as many meetings as we have, you’ll know that timekeeping is often an issue, so set out the rules of engagement in the agenda. Here are some tips:

• Introductions can take ages, so if everyone knows each other, don’t bother  
• Set out what you want to achieve at the start
• Put the important stuff at the start, as agendas are always pushed
• Tell people if they don’t need to be at the meeting to leave (and don’t hold a grudge if they do)
• ALWAYS ask people to test their connections before dialing in and ensure they have downloaded the software they need
• Provide instructions on how to share screens
• Let others know in advance if you will be discussing private or confidential matters to prevent participants from dialing in from a train or busy cafe

5. Provide a call to action (CTA)

In the online world, CTAs encourage someone to do something – and the principles work for meeting invites too. If you need people to read and prepare, tell them to do so. It’s always easier if attendees have done their homework.

There’s a real science to writing CTAs (as Hubspot explores here), so we won’t go into it in detail, but check our examples below for some inspiration. 

6. State the time and place clearly

It sounds obvious, doesn’t it? But you should state the time, place, and software you use. If you’re working across time zones, countries, and continents, be sure that everyone understands this.

Blended meetings (where some people are there in-person and others dial-in) are notoriously challenging, so give people clear options and instructions. There’s nothing worse than wasting a quarter of your meeting for someone to download Zoom and dial in. There are also no excuses if you’ve planned things properly.

Meeting request email format

1. meeting request email subject.

Subject lines are the first thing your recipients will see, so make them memorable. Need some inspiration? Here are some email subject line examples for meeting requests:

• Meeting request (insert dates)
• Can you help us? 
• We’re meeting on (insert dates)
• Can you attend a meeting on (insert dates)
• Urgent meeting request

2. How to start an email asking for a meeting

Remember the story narrative we set out above? Now’s the time to put it into practice.

You start your meeting request by explaining who you are and why you’re messaging them. Then set out that reason you’re messaging. Sure, you want to arrange a meeting, but spell out why – whether this is to check on progress, solve a problem, or agree to a solution – and why it’s critical to hold a meeting.

You’ll see examples of how to do this below, but here’s a great cookie-cutter example:

3. How to write the body of the meeting request email

The body of your email is the filling in your sandwich, so make it satisfying. Remembering the narrative we set out above, provide a breakdown of what the meeting is, why you’re calling it and what you hope to achieve by the end.

People won’t read through mountains of text, so say it succinctly as possible. Don’t be afraid to break up information into blocks; use bold type to highlight important parts and use bullet points.

We can’t tell you what to include in your meeting requests, but we can show you how to write them – and at the end, you’ll find 24 examples.

4. How to end an email requesting a meeting

Remember rules 5 and 6 from above: provide a CTA and give the time and place. Tell them if you want people to do certain things (read a document, watch a video, or prepare a presentation).

If you’re calling the meeting, you’re also calling the shots, so be confident in asking for what you want.

Now we’re ready to see some sample emails requesting a meeting. In fact, here are 24!

These meeting email request samples are here to give you some ideas and inspiration. Of course, you’ll need to include information here to make these work.

Responding to a meeting request email with Flowrite

Another thing we hate is replying to countless Google Meet, Zoom and Teams meeting requests. Luckily Flowrite can help us with this too.

Sample Request Letter For Product Demonstration: Free & Effective

Through this article, I’ll share my personal journey and insights, guiding you step-by-step on how to craft a compelling request letter for a product demonstration.

Key Takeaways

• Understand Your Audience : Tailor your letter to the recipient’s industry and needs.
• Be Specific and Concise : Clearly state the product you’re interested in and why.
• Personalize Your Letter : Share how the demonstration aligns with your goals or interests.
• Follow a Professional Format : Use a structured layout for clarity.
• Include a Call to Action : Encourage the recipient to respond or take action.
• Utilize a Template : Adapt a template to suit your specific request.

Step 1: Know Your Audience

Before you even start writing, it’s crucial to understand who you’re addressing. Research the company or individual to tailor your message effectively. This personal touch shows that you’re genuinely interested and are not just sending out generic requests.

Step 2: Introduction

Begin your letter with a polite introduction, stating your name and position or your connection to the product or industry. This sets the tone and gives the recipient context about who you are.

Real-Life Example:

In my experience, a concise introduction that includes a brief mention of how you came across the product can make the reader more receptive to your request.

Step 3: Specify Your Request

Clearly state that you are seeking a product demonstration. Be specific about the product and mention any particular features or aspects you’re interested in. This shows that you’ve done your homework and are serious about the request.

“I am particularly interested in the X feature of your product, as it seems to align well with our current needs.”

Step 4: Explain Your Interest

Share why you’re interested in the product and how it aligns with your goals, projects, or needs. This connection demonstrates the potential value and relevance of the demonstration to both parties.

Step 5: Suggest a Timeframe

Propose a few dates and times for the demonstration, showing your flexibility and eagerness to engage. However, be ready to accommodate their schedule.

Step 6: Include a Call to Action

Encourage a specific response, whether it’s a reply, a phone call, or a confirmation of the demonstration date. This clear call to action can significantly increase the chances of a response.

Step 7: Close Politely

End your letter with a courteous closing statement, thanking the recipient for considering your request.

Step 8: Proofread

Always proofread your letter for any spelling or grammatical errors. A polished letter reflects professionalism and attention to detail.

Personal Tips from Experience

• Follow Up : If you don’t hear back within a week or two, a polite follow-up can demonstrate your interest and initiative.
• Be Flexible : Showing willingness to adapt to the recipient’s schedule or format can make a demonstration more likely.
• Show Gratitude : Always express your appreciation, regardless of the outcome. It helps build a positive relationship for future interactions.

26 Examples of a Professional Email Asking for Something

A professional email asking for something can range from a simple request for an item on inventory or an order to telling a manager that you received an order and that you could use some help shipping them out. Whatever the case may be, it is crucial to adhere to professional etiquette when writing business emails.

Table of Contents

General Etiquette

A good rule of thumb when writing a professional email is to follow the same etiquette rules that you use when speaking to someone in person. Follow the guidelines below to write a professional email asking for something informal:

• Use a subject line that clearly states the purpose of your email.
• Use formal language and a professional tone. For example, say “I would like to request” or “Would you mind if I asked?”.
• Be specific. Don’t just ask for a favour, but explain what you need and how it will help you out. For example: “I was wondering if I could get your feedback on the first draft of my paper before I submit it to the editor?” or “I know this is last minute, but can we reschedule our meeting for tomorrow afternoon?”
• If applicable, provide additional details regarding this request in separate paragraphs below this first sentence.
• End by thanking the recipient for his/her time and consideration.
• Use a professional closing, such as “Respectfully,” “Best regards’ or “Sincerely.” Don’t use casual closings like “Cheers” or “Talk soon.”

How to write a meeting request email [17 samples for your colleagues, leads, & clients]

I’ll admit it upfront. As an introvert, I’m not a fan of meetings. And meetings that could’ve been emails? They’re pretty much the ultimate test of my patience (except spoilers on social media 🥲).

Despite my disdain, though, meetings can often be the binding force for relationships at work. They keep the communication going, provide a place to air and resolve differences, and ultimately bring people closer in pursuit of common goals. 

Async and written communication cannot accomplish everything—a lot gets lost in the absence of facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, and body language. This is perhaps why virtual meetings gained such popularity when we couldn’t meet in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Knowing how to request a meeting, thus, becomes a key skill that can help one navigate the world of work with greater ease. 

It's why I'm excited to share with you some tips and tricks on how to write a meeting request email that gets a positive response. With inputs from my colleagues at OSlash , I’ve also included 17 different samples for you to choose from, so you can tailor your message to fit the situation. Let’s get started.

What is a meeting request email?

A meeting request email is a professional invitation to get together and discuss something, typically sent in a business setting. It helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the meeting runs smoothly. 

Automate your repetitive typing with OSlash. It’s free to get started.

What are the different types of meeting request emails.

Depending on the level of familiarity or relationship you have with the recipient, meeting request emails can either be cold or warm.

• Cold meeting request email : This type of email is sent to someone you don't know or have a very limited relationship with. It's called "cold" because there's no prior communication or relationship established. Cold emails are typically used for outreach or prospecting purposes.

• Warm meeting request email : This type of email is sent to someone you have an existing relationship with, whether it's a colleague, business partner, or friend. Warm emails are typically used to set up meetings with people you have already interacted with or have some level of familiarity with.

In a cold meeting request email, you need to introduce yourself and explain the reason for your email clearly. You also need to personalize your email and explain why you think the recipient would benefit from the meeting.

In a warm meeting request email, you can be more informal and friendly. You can refer to previous conversations or interactions you've had with the recipient and provide context for the meeting. Since you already have a relationship, the tone of the email can be more relaxed and conversational.

How to politely request & schedule a meeting via email?

“never be so polite, you forget your power., never wield such power, you forget to be polite.”.

Some of my favorite lyrics also serve as a good mantra while requesting a meeting. 

No one likes to read a rude, pushy, and entitled email in their inbox, much less agree to a meeting with the sender of said email. Politeness is what will make all the difference between you getting a positive response and your meeting request email being marked as spam.

So, how do you politely schedule a meeting ? Here are 7 tips.

• Start with a clear, explanatory subject line that does not confuse or clickbait the recipient. (See our section on subject lines below for some good ol’ inspiration!)
• Begin with a polite greeting and include the name of the recipient in the salutation to make your meeting request more personable.

Some options include:

Hey, [First Name],

Hello [First Name], hope you’re well

Dear [First Name], I hope you’re having a good day

• If you’re writing a cold meeting request email, be sure to include a short introduction stating who you are and some context on why you are writing to them. This indicates your respect for their time and attention. Psst…Steal our introduction email templates to come up with the perfect one!
• Don’t forget to explicitly mention the purpose of the meeting and key details such as possible date, time, and venue . Pro tip: Suggest a few potential meeting times that work for you, but also be open to other options if those don't work.
• Acknowledge that the person you're requesting a meeting with is likely busy, and be respectful of their time. Offer to keep the meeting short and to the point , and assure them that you won't take up more of their time than necessary. A tool like Calendly lets you give the recipient flexibility in scheduling the meeting, especially if the meeting is something you want more than they do.
• Close your email by thanking them for considering your request and expressing your appreciation for their time and attention. Make sure to include a CTA (call to action) .

Some possible CTAs are:

You can reach me at [email] or [phone number]

Please feel free to book a slot on my calendar [insert link to calendar]

Please let me know if you’re available on [date & time] or if an alternative time works better for you

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email] or [phone number] if you have questions

• Proofread your email before sending or employ a writing assistant to do it for you. Sending an impeccable, polished request will make a great impression and increase your chances of getting a favorable response.

Final words: Email etiquette for sending meeting requests and invitations the right way

When it comes to requesting meetings via email, there are a few key etiquette rules to follow. Think of it like sending a virtual handshake—you want to make a good impression and ensure that everyone feels respected and valued.

Here are 4 things to remember when sending a meeting invitation. 

1. Have a clear agenda 

Having a clear agenda for your meeting is essential for making the most of everyone's time. When sending a meeting invitation email, be sure to include a brief outline of the topics that will be discussed and what you hope to accomplish. This not only helps attendees prepare for the meeting but also ensures that everyone is on the same page and that the meeting stays focused.

2. Follow the two-pizza rule for meeting invitations 

Jeff Bezos' "two pizza rule" is a great guideline for deciding who to invite to a meeting. The rule states that a meeting should never have more people than can be fed with two pizzas. In other words, keep your meeting small and invite only the people who are necessary for the discussion. This helps keep the meeting efficient and ensures that everyone who attends has a meaningful contribution to make.

3. Don’t Rubik’s cube your way to a meeting

Avoid unnecessary back-and-forth by checking calendars in advance whenever possible. When sending a meeting invitation email, suggest a few potential meeting times and ask attendees to let you know which one works best for them. Alternatively, use a scheduling tool like Calendly or Doodle to allow attendees to select a time that works for them. This can help avoid the "Rubik's cube" of scheduling and save time and frustration for everyone involved.

4. Be considerate of everyone’s time

Suggest a few potential meeting times that work for you, but also be open to other options if those don't work. And if you're requesting a meeting with someone who is higher up in the organization, be respectful of their schedule and availability. Wrap meetings up in time so as to be mindful of other people’s schedules and commitments.

Follow these golden commandments and we’re sure your meeting invitation acceptance rates will soar through the roof!

What are some good practices when asking people to share their PowerPoint presentations from a conference/talk?

In many cases, they (understandably) don't reply (or they are uncomfortable with sharing them, as they often contain unpublished material). Also, I do this often, and don't want to be known as "the person who asks people for their powerpoint slides".

At the same time though, it's simply far easier to remember the content of a presentation/talk when you actually have access to the stuff inside (and I do discover that I learn faster from talks than from any other source). Most of the time, I request the slides as a reference for learning the material (since I'm still new to the area, and they are quite helpful for that).

(though I do wonder - what are the underlying circumstances when most people ask for them?)

• 1 Most people ask for them for the same reason you do; to simplify note-taking, and to help remember some idea for future research. –  eykanal Commented Feb 22, 2012 at 14:23
• 14 Whatever you do, just don't call them a PowerPoint unless you know they were actually prepared in PowerPoint :-P (I am among the minority of people who get a little offended when someone asks about my PowerPoint - because I prepare my slides in LaTeX) –  David Z Commented Sep 28, 2012 at 4:11
• In my experience, conference organizers often ask speakers to provide their slides, to be posted (after the talk) on the conference web site, so everyone can access them. (And @DavidZ will be glad to learn that, instead of calling them "PowerPoint slides" regardless of how they were actually produced, we usually call them "Beamer slides" regardless of how they were actually produced.) –  Andreas Blass Commented Oct 4, 2018 at 1:17

There is no magic when it comes to asking for presentations. And there is nothing wrong with being the person who asks people for their powerpoint slides (at least you show that are interested and it may result in them being cited; and it shows that they got their job done - though a presentation they interested others in their idea).

If they don't reply (or don't sent it), it is usually of one of the following reasons:

• They are busy and missed your mail,
• It would take their time to find the presentation and send it (it may be big so it is not just sending an e-mail),
• It is not polished enough for anything but a presentation,
• It may contain things that they would prefer not to share publicly (e.g. plots form other papers, preliminary data which may later proven to be wrong or incomplete, pictures or video they don't have right to share further, etc).

If they don't want to share it - they have right to it. However, usually they have nothing against (and actually are happy to do so) as long as you make it quick and easy for them.

So it is a good idea to ask for slides just after their talk - they may have it on their computer (so you can copy it to your stick) or on a stick (o you can copy it to your computer) or send it right away.

• Send your e-mail at most a week after the presentation,
• Be short and concise (what exactly you want, what do you want with do with it),
• If there is no response try writing the same e-mail a week later.

Be very clear on what you want it for, particularly whether you will be sharing it further (even within your group, with your advisor, &c).

I often post edited version of the slides online, but I always want to have control on the contents that are public, semi-public, or private.

I don't mind sharing my presentations, but I make sure that I provide a read-only format only (PDF) with slides scaled to e.g. 1/4 of actual size, in raster format (so that more than one would fit on a page). When people ask for presentations, I expect they'd like to have the material handy for further reading and reference, not to present it or use it themselves.

One would go even further and restrict the PDF printing, copying and modifications, although these can be circumvented with a reasonable effort if you know what you are doing. I don't do this as a matter of principle, but I can see how some people might want to have such kind of control.

You can ask for a redacted version of the slides, without new data. Do note that this will require extra work from the presenter; in my experience, I've found that most people do not go this route. I would follow the route you're currently taking; ask for them, and if they don't wish to share, then drop the subject.

If you're uncomfortable asking the authors of the slides, for some event types, another idea could be to ask the organizers of the conference, seminar, talk, etc., if they could make the slides available to everyone on the event website . Depending on their attitude, the organizers may think that this is a good idea and do it on your behalf, and there may have a higher chance of getting a response from the presenter.

26 Email templates to ask for a meeting politely

How to ask for a meeting politely?

When it comes to asking for a meeting, politeness is key. You don't want to come across as pushy or demanding. Think about it for a minute, how do you respond to marketing or sales emails that the introduction is just a call to action rather than a cordial summary of who the sender is and what he intends to achieve by sending the email?  

Here are some suggestions for how to ask for an appointment politely:

• Start by introducing yourself and explaining your reason for requesting the appointment. For example, you might say something like "Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am calling to inquire about setting up an appointment to discuss [Specific Topic]."
• Ask if the person you are speaking with is available to schedule an appointment and if so, when they might be available. For example, you might say something like "Are you available to schedule an appointment at some point in the next few weeks? I am flexible and would be happy to work with your schedule."
• If the person you are speaking with is not able to schedule an appointment, ask if they can direct you to someone who can. For example, you might say something like "I understand if you are not able to schedule an appointment. Can you please let me know who I should speak with in order to set up a meeting?"
• Thank the person for their time and assistance, and let them know how to contact you if they are able to schedule an appointment. For example, you might say something like "Thank you for your help. If you are able to schedule an appointment, please feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information]. I look forward to speaking with you."

In general, it is important to be polite and respectful when requesting an appointment and to be flexible and understanding if the person you are speaking with is not able to accommodate your request. By following these suggestions, you can politely and effectively ask for an appointment.

The following tips will help you strike the right balance and get the meeting you want. Here are some tips on how to ask for an appointment politely.

• Introduce yourself and your company.
• Build a rapport - ask how your prospect's day is going or ask about the weather or an event happening in their neighborhood. This breaks the ice, personalizes the conversation, and can earn you, their attention for a few more seconds.
• Be specific about why you would like to meet, what you hope to accomplish during the meeting, and how your client will benefit from the meeting.
• Keep your request brief and to the point. Be clear about what kind of meeting you are looking for (e.g., coffee, lunch, phone call, etc.).
• Suggest a few specific dates and times that work for you.  Finding the best time to meet is challenging, especially if you're meeting with people in different time zones. When you suggest a meeting time for meeting attendees from different regions, it's especially important to include a time zone in your meeting request email.
• Close by thanking the person again for their time and expressing your hope that they will be able to accommodate your request.
• Write a clear and concise subject line for the meeting request email
• Send a follow-up if needed

Select the language that is most appropriate for the situation. Language can be

• Formal - "May I ask permission to meet with you in person?"
• Neutral - "Would it be possible for us to meet?"
• Informal - "Could we meet to discuss it?"

The tone is a combination of Word choice, Sentence structure, and Punctuation choices. The right tone has to be used depending on whether you are sending a meeting request email to warm contacts or new contacts as a cold email outreach.

Emojis are always informal. In English, first names are generally used (and not last names) in emails.

Warm contacts already have one-on-one contact with you or your company or brand. Emails to warm contacts are considered warm emails. Cold emailing refers to sending emails to individuals with no existing relationship with you and your business.

Cold and warm meeting request emails require different strategies. With cold meeting request emails, you need to introduce yourself and build enough interest in the recipient that they book the meeting—all without overwhelming them with too much text. With a warm meeting request email, you have the luxury of building on the relationship they already have with your brand.

Here are sample quick one-liners to ask for a meeting. You can use them while sending personalized meeting request emails.

• Are you free for a chat at some time on 2021/07/26, 5:00 PM?
• Can we schedule a meeting for tomorrow at 3 pm?
• Do you have time next week Tuesday to grab a cup of coffee?
• Don’t you wish you could also [solve the main pain point] with it?
• Will you be present on Tuesday after he speaks?
• Would either [two choices of date and time] be a good time for you?
• Would either [two choices of date and time] work for you?
• Want to book a quick meeting this week to see what we can do?

Meeting with colleagues, clients, or potential customers can become challenging when everyone's schedules are similarly jam-packed. What's more, a great deal of valuable time can be wasted by means of back-and-forth emails or messages to decide the meeting date and time.  Online appointment scheduling software gives your invitees the ability to book meeting 24/7 without the back-and-forth emails or messages. This convenience factor is a major selling point for customers. If you're in sales, then you know that time is money. And if you're not using appointment scheduling software, you're losing out on potential sales. Scheduling software helps you keep track of your appointments and leads, so you can close more deals and boost your sales.

Here are 24 email templates to help you ask for an appointment in a way that is both professional and polite. Feel free to customize them to fit your own needs. Be sure to proofread your email before sending it off.

Sample Email Requesting a Meeting

Follow-up after the meeting.

When job searching, it is often useful to reach out to successful people in your career field for advice. Your connections can be a valuable source of industry information and may be able to provide you with job leads.

These relationships are meaningful even if you are happy with your job — you can turn to successful people in your industry for help strategizing your next career move, discussing trends, and determining where you need to develop skills or experience. 

Setting up an informational interview or informational meeting can be a great way to meet people in your field and get advice on your career and/or job search.

What's the best way to request a meeting? The best approach is to send an email, letter, or LinkedIn message in which you'll want to explain who you are (if you don't know the person well), how you were referred, and what you're seeking.

See these additional tips for how to write a letter requesting an informational meeting:

• Introduce Yourself:  It is always important to begin a letter requesting a meeting with a summary of how you know the person. If you are already friends or close associates, you do not need a long introduction. However, if you do not know the person well, remind him or her how you met (if you did), or how you heard of him or her.

If a mutual friend or colleague put you in touch, mention that person's name in the first paragraph of the letter.

• Describe Your Skills and Experience (Briefly):  Explain your experience and skills as related to your industry. You want to show the recipient that you are serious about your career. However, you also want to keep this section brief. You may consider attaching your resume for reference if the reader may want to know more.
• Explain What You Are Looking For:  Provide a polite but concrete statement saying what you are asking for. Would you like to meet to discuss the industry generally? Would you like advice on your portfolio? Do you have questions about the person’s company? However, do not say you want help finding a job unless this is a cold contact cover letter. The goal of this letter is to learn more about your industry and how you can improve your skills and/or your job search.
• Keep It Short and Professional:  Do not go on for too long — keep the letter to one page or less. This person is likely very busy and does not have the time to read a long letter. That being said, you still want your language to be polite and professional. Be sure to  proofread  your letter before sending it. Write your letter in a proper  business letter format . See the sample letters below for an example.

Dear Mr./Ms. Firstname Lastname,

For the past 10+ years I have followed your career through news events, interviews, and web research. Your dedication to the media and your understanding of the important role journalists play in today's fast-paced information highway, coupled with your belief in the power of the press, is exemplary. In addition, I know you were a student at Columbia with John Smith, my journalism professor at Missouri State.

I have had the privilege of honing my journalistic abilities on three widely different publications. When I left college, I immediately went to work for the typical small town newspaper and learned all aspects of getting the paper to the people in a timely manner. I then moved to regional manager for a media corporation composed of small to mid-size newspapers in the Midwest. In my current position, I am Chief Correspondent for one of the largest newspapers in the southwest.

I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to visit with you to get your insight and suggestions on where my skills and abilities would be of the greatest value to the journalist field, not only newspapers but other mediums as well.

The week of March 15 - 19, I will be in New York City. I'd like to visit with you and get your feedback on my writing ability, along with suggestions on where my skills would be of the greatest value from your point of view. I do have a portfolio of my work that I will have with me.

Thank you so much for your time. I will call your office to set up a convenient time. I do look forward to meeting you.

Understanding immediate resignation

An immediate resignation means leaving a job without giving the standard notice period outlined in your employment contract—typically two to four weeks. This kind of resignation usually happens due to urgent personal or professional issues that make it impossible to stay in the role.

In the U.S., most employment is “at will,” meaning that both the employee and employer can end the employment relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. Still, it’s a good idea to check your employment contract to see if there are any rules or restrictions about resigning immediately.

“While employees generally have the right to resign at any time, doing so abruptly may be considered a breach of contract if they have an employment agreement requiring notice,” says attorney Michele Diglio-Benkiran, Founder of Legal Counsel, P.A , who drafts employment agreements and handles disputes. “However, courts rarely force employees to continue working, though they may face damages.”

“In many fields, quitting without proper notice is considered a major lapse in professionalism that can completely scorch that bridge,” says HR consultant Conor Hughes . “I've witnessed it sabotage countless employees' prospects when former employers get contacted—no positive references, no rehire option, just negative accounts that torpedo new opportunities.”

If your resignation is due to a personal crisis, explaining your reasons can sometimes mitigate the negative impact. “Employers might understand if they see you’re dealing with unavoidable circumstances,” says Susan Andrews, an HR specialist at KIS Finance . “You have to be prepared for mixed reactions, though, since some employers may still view it negatively.”

Valid reasons for immediate resignation

“I always advise reviewing the contract's fine print around resignation protocols, giving the statutory minimum 1-week notice if feasible, and being prepared for the company to potentially enforce working the full notice period,” Hughes says.

That said, deciding to resign immediately can be tricky and is usually driven by urgent and compelling reasons, like:

Personal reasons

• Health emergencies: A serious illness or injury affecting yourself or a close family member might require your immediate attention.
• Family crises: Situations like the death of a loved one or a family member requiring urgent care can force an immediate departure.
• Relocation: An unexpected move to a distant location might lead to an immediate resignation.

Work-related reasons

• Toxic work environment : A workplace that is harmful to your mental or physical health due to persistent negativity, bullying , or other toxic behaviors.
• Harassment : Experiencing harassment, whether it is sexual , racial, or otherwise, can require an immediate departure to protect your well-being.
• Unethical practices : Discovering illegal or unethical activities within the company that conflict with your values and could implicate you legally or morally.

Career-related reasons

• Unexpected job offer: A new job offer with an immediate start date might require an immediate resignation from your current position.
• Entrepreneurial pursuits: Deciding to start your own business could require an immediate departure from your current employment.

How to write an immediate resignation letter in 6 steps

When you need to resign immediately, it's crucial to write a clear and professional immediate resignation letter without notice. Follow these steps:

1. Clearly state your intentions

Begin your immediate resignation letter by clearly stating your intent to resign from your position effective immediately. This removes any ambiguity and sets a clear timeline for your departure.

2. Provide a brief explanation for your decision

While it’s not mandatory, offering a brief explanation for your immediate departure can offer useful context. This is especially helpful if you have a pressing and valid reason for immediate resignation.

“If it’s for health reasons, then mention them briefly without too much detail,” Andrews says. “If your workplace is toxic, focus on your need to leave for your well-being. The key here is to use respectful language and avoid unnecessary details. This will maintain your professionalism and ensure the message is clear.”

3. Express gratitude for the opportunity

Even if your experience wasn’t entirely positive, keep a professional tone and express gratitude for the opportunities and experiences you’ve had with the company. This will help preserve your reputation and work relationships.

4. Offer to assist with the handover of responsibilities

Show your commitment to a smooth transition by offering to assist with the handover of your responsibilities. This can include helping to train a replacement or providing documentation of your tasks and projects.

5. Include your contact information

Give your contact information so your employer can reach you if needed. This shows your willingness to remain cooperative and helpful during the transition.

6. Proofread before sending

Before sending your letter, make sure to proofread it carefully. Check for any spelling or grammatical errors to ensure your letter is polished and professional. Once you're satisfied, you’re ready to send it.

Key takeaways

Even if you resign in person out of frustration or in a moment of anger, sending a well-crafted immediate resignation letter is crucial for documentation. “That written record clarifies all dates, obligations like equipment return, and transition planning,” Hughes says. “Plus it eliminates ambiguity.”

Immediate resignations are sometimes necessary due to urgent personal issues, toxic work environments, or career opportunities. They help protect your well-being, uphold ethical standards, or seize professional advancements.

Regardless of the reason, maintain a professional and respectful tone in your letter. Avoid negative comments or criticism. Keep it simple and direct: state your intent and last working day, provide necessary details, offer to assist with the transition if possible, and express gratitude. Sending farewell messages to colleagues you have a good relationship with can also help preserve connections.

How to Write a Salary Increase Request: Essential Tips

Written by Salary.com Staff

August 13, 2024

Requesting a raise has a great significance to your career, showing how much you bring to the table at your job. Proposing for an increase doesn’t only involve money, but more about getting recognized and treated fairly for what you contribute. Salary increase letters are an effective and professional way to ask for a raise. In today's competitive job market, knowing how to effectively ask for a raise is the key. Learn practical advice on writing a strong and convincing salary increase request with the following tips .

Do Your Research

Don't jump on the water without testing it. Doing research first before drafting your salary increase letter is crucial. You must gather necessary information to strengthen your case. Here’s how to go about it:

Industry Standards

Start by researching the average salary range for your position in your area to check whether your pay is fair. Use online salary surveys, industry reports , or talk to others in your field to find out. Knowing this information not only backs up your request but shows you know your actual worth in the job market.

Market Trends

After you benchmark the salary range for your role and location, you need to monitor the market trends. See whether there have been any recent changes or trends in your industry that may affect salaries. A high demand for your skills or a lack of qualified people can cause salaries to increase. But, if there's been a downturn in your industry, it can affect how much companies are willing to pay. Staying updated on these trends will give you a better idea of what to expect and help you make a stronger case for your raise.

Company Policy

Another factor to check is your company policies. Understanding your company’s policy on salary reviews is equally important, as each of them has varying ways of handling salary increases. Some follow set schedules or rules, while others need you to make a formal request. Check your employee handbook or talk to HR to better understand how it works. This way, you'll know what's expected and can make sure your request gets taken seriously.

Conducting research before drafting your request helps you make a solid case for a raise. The data gathered will help you determine the right approach and timing for when to ask for a raise.

Highlight Your Achievements

Before managers approve your salary raise request, they will check whether you’re qualified for it. With this in mind, make sure to highlight your contributions and show the value you bring when asking for a raise. To effectively showcase your achievements, be sure to include the following:

Specific Examples

Start by listing specific examples of your recent accomplishments. Point out key projects you've managed, goals you've hit, or extra tasks you've taken on. For example, if you led a team to finish a project early or helped the company save on financial resources, these demonstrate your skills and proactive attitude. Specific examples give solid proof of what you've done and the impact you did. They add credibility and show you're not only making general claims. Plus, detailed examples are more convincing and noteworthy.

Impact on the Company

Beyond listing tasks, emphasize how your contributions have directly benefited the company. Show how your process improvements made things smoother, saving time and cutting costs for the team. If you led a project that got new clients or made clients happier, mention that too. These specific examples show how much you've helped the company. Link your achievements to the company's goals to show their importance and relevance.

Quantify Impact

Provide measurable evidence of the results of your work. Use specific numbers and metrics that demonstrate how you've contributed to the company's success. For example, talk about how your ideas boosted revenue, saved money with better processes, or made things run smoother. Using specific numbers proves what you've achieved and how it's helped the company save money and work better.

Point out what you've achieved and how it's helped the company. This shows why you deserve a raise and proves you're committed to making a difference

Make a Clear Request

When it comes to requesting a salary increase, clarity and rationality are key. Here’s how to approach this crucial step:

State Your Ask

Start your raise request letter by clearly stating the exact raise you want. Whether it's a percentage or a specific dollar amount, being direct makes your expectations clear and helps your employer consider your request easily.

For example, you can say, "I am writing to request a 10% increase in my current salary." You can also say "I would like to discuss a raise to align my compensation with industry standards."

Be Reasonable

It is important to advocate for fair compensation, but you also have to be realistic in your request. Base your raise request on solid research. Take a look at industry standards and your own performance. Think about how long you've been with the company, your achievements, and any new responsibilities you've taken on since your last raise. Being reasonable in your request shows you understand your value and increases your chances of a positive response.

Keep It Professional

When drafting a salary increase letter, maintaining a professional tone is essential to convey your request effectively. Achieve that through the following:

Tone and Format

Use a polite and professional tone throughout the letter. Address your supervisor or HR manager respectfully and express your request in a clear and courteous manner. Avoid using informal language or emotional appeals. Keep the letter concise and focused on your request and supporting reasons. Use a professional letter format to ensure your letter looks organized and formal. Include your contact information, date, manager’s details. Start with a polite greeting and say why you’re writing the letter. State your salary increase request clearly and briefly mention your achievements and how you add value to the company. Finally, make sure to include a formal closing.

Before sending your letter, take the time to proofread it. Check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors to ensure clarity and professionalism. A well-proofread letter shows you pay attention to detail and boosts your credibility as a professional.

Ask a trusted colleague or friend to review your letter to recognize any mistakes you may have missed. A polished, error-free letter improves your chances of making a good impression and helps you get a positive response to your salary increase request.

Express Gratitude

End your letter with gratitude and enthusiasm to show your appreciation for what you have now and excitement for what lies ahead.

Acknowledge Opportunities

Take a moment to thank your employer for the opportunities you’ve had during your tenure. Mention specific experiences or projects that have contributed to your growth and development. This shows appreciation for the support and trust your employer has placed in you.

For example, you can say, "I am grateful for the opportunities to lead XYZ project and develop my skills in ABC areas."

Show Enthusiasm

Show how eager you are to keep making a difference. Talk about how dedicated you are to reaching new goals and helping the company thrive. This positive attitude not only shows how committed you are to the company but also connects well with your request for a salary increase. Let them know you're excited about what lies ahead and how you look forward to contributing even more to the company's success. Express your confidence in continuing to grow with the team and how you're ready to take on new challenges. This enthusiasm underscores your belief in the company's mission and your role within it.

Timing is essential. Choose an appropriate time to submit your salary increase request. Consider factors such as recent performance reviews, how the company's doing financially, and the overall business climate. Mention any recent wins or growth in the company that make your raise request make sense right now. This shows you understand what's going on and connects your request to the company's achievements.

End your letter by saying again how much you appreciate the opportunity and how excited you are. It helps you come across well and opens up a good chat with your manager about how you can grow in the company. Let them know you're ready to talk more about your request in person or in a meeting.

Asking for a raise can feel daunting, but with these tips in hand, you’re well on your way to making a compelling case. Remember, preparation and confidence are the keys to an effective raise request. Highlight your achievements, back up your request with solid reasons, and approach the conversation with a positive attitude.

Good luck—you’ve got this! And who knows, this may be the start of a whole new chapter in your career.
