Identifying the right candidates for the job
Creating a positive candidate experience
Asking for favors requires some give and take. Sending a cold email instructing about some work that the recipient has to do, can come off as annoying and intrusive.
It is better to prepare the conditions and circumstances prior to sending the request (Pre-suasion), like a warm greeting, for instance.

If this annoys you, you can inquire about it in person, or if you feel that this is just a normal ‘signature’, you can ignore i...

These types of emails (with the entire email is a sentence in the subject line, with no email body, just the signature)are usually sent by a very direct person, that either feels very busy or that the problem can't be solved simply in an email, so it's too much for them to go into it all.
