I love email like this:

sir/madam plz if u can send me aticles on image compression and neural networks for my thesis reserach work. thanks XXXXX

I always want to respond back that I’ll jump right on it since I have nothing better to do.

This is in direct contrast to a very nice email I received from an instructor at an Indian university asking to get a pdf copy of a lab manual that one of my old professors and I wrote 10 years ago. That one, I’ll go to the archives and retrieve to send on.
