A useful request names the draft, identifies what you want checked and gives a reasonable deadline.
The idea
Use 見ていただけますか to politely ask someone to look at your work. Follow it with a specific question such as 説明がわかりやすいか, and use いただけると助かります to make a deadline a considerate request.
Examples
- 資料の下書きができました。The draft of the document is ready.
- お時間のあるときに、見ていただけますか。Could you look at it when you have time?
- 特に説明がわかりやすいか、教えてください。Please tell me especially whether the explanation is clear.
- 直したほうがいいところはありますか。Are there any parts I should revise?
- 金曜日までにご意見をいただけると助かります。It would help if I could receive your feedback by Friday.
- ありがとうございます。ご指摘をもとに修正します。Thank you. I will revise it based on your comments.

Watch out
A request to look at a draft does not say what kind of feedback you need. Name the point you want checked and allow enough time for a reply.
