It's not really strange, is it? Business and politeness etiquette requires a certain phrasing that is typically more tedious than the core information of a message.
Now that decorating any message with such fluff is automated, we can as well drop the requirement and just state clearly what we want without fluff.

- simoncion 1y agoBecause of this, I tend to structure my business communications as "Sentence or five that best conveys what I want from (or want to tell) the reader, followed by the required background and/or supporting information required to understand the problem being described, or justify the request being made.". However, you can't do much of anything to deal with people who stop reading at the first sentence or question. Those folks are hopeless.
