Dear Saleem,
There are some basic elements needed in the email to ensure proper tone and smooth reading.
Basically, people know how to write, but they forget how to present information. In today's culture, high-level team members don't have time to read your message and the whole conversation.
There's a proper way to present your email as well as your point of view:
Work on the subject line, which introduces the entire e-mail and summarizes your message.
Highlight the main points that you want the reader to really focus on.
Fix your signatures.
