When asking for clarification, requests, or whatever kind of update you need from someone, be polite, but also remember people’s time is limited and you don’t want them to have to search for your point.
If you need a status update, ask for it. “I have to get X over to Y at Z time today. Can you give me a status please?” is perfectly acceptable. The same goes for “Can you give me an update on the request I send over on Monday please?”
If you’re like most people, you miss stuff and direct reminders get a fire under you faster than dancing ones. So when you need an update, drop the “This is just a friendly nudge…” or “When you have a moment…” and ask for what you want.
