I have a formula for emails that I follow because most people don't really read past the first sentence.
The very first sentence of any work email I send is the action I want them to perform -- the sentence that most people would put at the end. I also write the subject line so it functions as a todo bullet point for them.
The next paragraph is a summary of why I need them to do whatever it is that I am asking them to do.
The rest of the email is the details.
The last paragraph of the email restates the first.
