agree  Kiwiland Bear: Perhaps some other form of polite address though instead of simple "please"? Something along the lines of "Would you be so kind as..." perhaps? Not sure about the exact tone in the source but just "please" sounds a bit too dry for me. Just a thought.
8 hrs
  -> Thanks for your comments, Kiwiland. I find please is perfectly polite and natural, since we tend to be more direct in English! :)
agree  rkillings: But make that "include only".

agree  Conor McAuley: Kiwiland is right, veuillez is very formal / oops! sorry. Maybe formal but not very formal, you're right...
14 hrs
  -> Thanks, Conor. The sentence is "je vous demande de" and not "veuillez". But regardless, I disagree on "veuillez" being very formal.
