Draft a message asking a contact to send the latest documents for a meeting.
The idea
Give the subject, greet the recipient and explain the purpose before asking. 恐れ入りますが softens the request; お送りいただけますでしょうか asks politely whether the recipient can send it. 可能でしたら introduces a flexible condition, and までに sets the deadline.
Examples
- 件名:資料送付のお願いSubject: Request for documents
- いつもお世話になっております。Thank you for your continued support.
- 来週の会議に向けて、資料を準備しております。I am preparing documents for next week’s meeting.
- 恐れ入りますが、最新の資料をお送りいただけますでしょうか。Could you please send me the latest documents?
- 可能でしたら、金曜日までにお送りいただけますと幸いです。If possible, I would appreciate receiving them by Friday.
- お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、よろしくお願いいたします。I apologize for troubling you when you are busy, and thank you for your help.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Japanese voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Japanese device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
いただく refers to receiving the other person’s action; いたします describes your own action. Do not make a deadline sound optional if it is actually firm: state the constraint clearly and politely.
