Step-by-step explanation:
Asking for assistance via email can help you organise your thoughts before reaching out to someone, and it shows the person you're requesting assistance that you value their time. Emails are often less time-sensitive than phone calls and less intrusive than in-person visits. When you ask for assistance via email, you give your colleague, supervisor, or contact time to evaluate and research your question.
Emailing for assistance can also help you narrow down your question and refine your approach. When you take the time to write an email, you may process the situation differently than if you asked the question aloud without as much thought. You can use specific and direct language in an email.
