Thanks, teacher.

I placed the name within the context just to show that I am writing to him. I will make sure that I don't do that again.

So is everything else correct including the context of the message I intend to send?

Sorry, teacher. I did not get what you meant by ' you cannot judge the content'? Do you mean the rest of the message that I intend to send?

No, I mean that I cannot know that you really want to meet him for that purpose.

I see. But why can't you know that? Isn't the message clear that I would like to meet him to get his opinion on a fews questions I have?

I think I know what you mean. Would this knew sentence clarify that I want to meet for that purpose:

I would like to meet with you to get your opinion on a fews questions I have.
