Hi<br/><br/>In India and Pakistan, it is common for a compare/MC to say something like this:<br/><br/><b><u>I would request</u></b> Mr. Karim to come on stage and say a few words. <br/><br/>Is this use of <b><i>would</i></b> correct here? Or <b><i>will</i></b> will do?<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Tom
