"could you please assist" vs "kindly request for your assistance on this subject"

The correct phrase would be "could you please assist." You can request something, but you don't "request for" something.

Last Updated: March 16, 2018

This is an extremely polite way to ask someone to help you.

Some examples from our editors:

  • Could you please assist me with this matter?
  • My mother is unable to carry her bags herself; could you please assist her?

Some alternatives from our editors:

  • could you please help
  • can you please assist

kindly request for your assistance on this subject

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

You don't use the word "for" after the word "request." You douse the word "for" after the word "ask," so that might be a little confusing.

For example: "I requested his schedule. Yes, I asked for his schedule."
