''let me ask you something while you wait…'' Pleae help me understnd the meaning

I found this context on a site. The context is below:

''Congratulations! Your FREE ebook “10 Secrets to Acing Organic Chemistry” is making its way to your inbox. Since this can take a few minutes, let me ask you something while you wait…''

Now my questions are as follows:

1. In ''let me ask you something while you wait....'', does "while you wait'' carry the future meaning?

2. Could you make this sentence easier for me so that I can understand the meaning easily?
