It'd be so much nicer if this email was written in simpler language.

If you don't mind, I'd like to set up a call for us to talk about our services and how we could be useful to ThoughtWorks. Can I have your contact details?

Later Addition
President Patil's letter to Manmohan Singh (inviting him to form the government) has a sentence that reads:Having regard to the fact that you head the single largest party and the largest pre-election alliance and taking note of the letters of support enabling you to command majority support of the newly constituted 15th Lok Sabha, I have the pleasure to appoint you the prime minister and request you to advice me as to the names of others to be appointed in the council of ministers.
Just kill me! Please!
