Is this polite way to ask a professor?

Dear Prof. XYZ,

Please print out the supporting documents, stamped and sign them where necessary and send them together with the signed and stamped hard copy of the “Supervisor’s Comment Page” to the fellowship office before 30th March.

Thank you
Sincerely,
ABC
