may i request a copy vs may i request the copy

These are both acceptable phrases, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'May I request a copy' is more general and can be used when asking for any copy of something. 'May I request the copy' is more specific and implies that there is a particular copy being referred to.
