here is my letter,

Dear Mr. Hewitt,

My name is Wang Xiaowen, a postgraduate of psychology from South West University of China. I learned that the Multidimentional Perfectionism Scale developed by you and colleague is one of the most used instruments in research of perfectionism. So I wish I could get from you a copy of the MPS and the permission to use this scale in my research if it’s possible. The scale will be used only for research purpose. Thank you for your kind consideration. I’m looking forward to your earliest reply.

Sincerely yours,

Hello, Mister Micawber. Thank you very much for your great help! I think I have learned so much from your advices. I learned how to express my honor and ask for support politely. And I noticed it is a mistake, probably a terrible one, not to mention the name of the second author of that article. Again, thank you for your careful consideration and great help!
