How to Write an Effective Request for Help

Be clear and descriptive. When need my help to resolve an issue, take some time to reflect on what you’re experiencing. What do you expect and what is actually occurring? Have you already taken any steps to troubleshoot the problem? Be specific about what you tried.

After you’ve provided thorough context, take a moment to summarize it into the subject of your email. Instead of titling your request “Question” or “Hi,” target 4–8 words that capture the essence of your issue. (It’s perfectly okay to write the Description first and return to the Subject later.)
