Subject: Request for Project Timeline

Dear John Smith,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request a project timeline for our upcoming marketing campaign. I would like to request this information by Friday, March 12th, as we need to finalize our plans by the end of the week.

This request is related to our ongoing project to launch a new product line. The project timeline will help us to better understand the scope of work and allocate our resources accordingly.

Please provide the information in a spreadsheet format with the following columns: project tasks, start dates, end dates, and responsible team members.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Best regards, Jane Doe
