I request vs i am requesting

Both "I request" and "I am requesting" are correct but should be used in different contexts. "I request" is formal and direct and is often used in written communication or formal situations. On the other hand, "I am requesting" is more commonly employed in spoken English to indicate an ongoing action or as a polite way to make a request.
