In bureaucratic situations, you’re expected to have a bunch of polite boilerplate. Or at least that’s how my dad keeps telling me to write emails.

There's a purpose in showing that you put a little bit of thought into the email, not only for courtesy, but also because spending that attention can help you spot errors.
