I have been bothered by the tone or content in some emails I receive. When you want to meet, you should not say “…. when are you free?” This is a bit too direct or impolite (I have double checked with my kids and colleagues) – instead you should ask “do you have any time to meet?” or “can we please meet?” etc. In Turkish, adding the word “acaba” makes it more polite.
Thanks for this post.
