I really cannot stress this enough. Please, don’t say “I have a question”, just ask the question. From “No Hello, here are some examples:
- “Hey man, what’s up? also, any idea when that thing’s due?”
- “Hi there! Hope you’re well. I’m after the latest deck, when you get a sec :)”
- “Hey, if you’re not busy, could you update those NFRs?”
- “Etc.”
