This structures the information you need without sounding like a form. The 24-hour turnaround commitment sets a professional expectation.
Drawing Clarification Request

[Specific question — e.g., "Tolerance on bore diameter — is ±0.05mm acceptable?"] 2. [Second question if needed] 3. Surface finish requirement? This usually takes 10 minutes to clarify and prevents back-and-forth after the quote. Regards, [Your Name]
