Dear Stathis,
I appreciate your email and hope you enjoyed a pleasant holiday season as well.
I want to assure you that I will forward your request to my colleague promptly. Additionally, I would like to inquire if you would be comfortable with me sharing your email as part of the context when I make this request. If you prefer a more concise message conveyed in my own words, I am more than willing to accommodate that as well.
Please feel free to let me know your preference, as I will proceed in accordance with your wishes.
Best regards,
Anzelika
