Hi *name*, *generic pleasantry*,
*insert question or request here*
It's related to *details/attachments go here*. Can you help me or point me to the right person?
Thanks
Good. I can read your question, respond immediately, and help you out. Or I can tell you I don't know but forward to someone who does. We're both happy.

Hi *name*, *generic pleasantry*,
Do you have a moment?
Bad. A moment for what? WHAT DO YOU WANT? After x1000 of this, I really don't want to see your name even show up because I just know that's how you start every conversation.
It's astounding how many people write the latter example. If you do this, stop, it is driving me nuts.
