Request Email That Gets a Fast Yes

## CONTEXT
Most requests get delayed not because of refusal but because they are vague, effortful, or buried. In 2026, the requests that get fast yeses are specific, explain the why, make the lift small, and include a clear deadline. Respecting the recipient's effort is the surest way to speed up the answer.
