7e Look at this example from the letter:
I would be grateful if you could send me some more details.

Can you send me some more
details?
We need to change the word order when we introduce a question with
expressions like:
Could you tell me …
Please let me know …
I would be grateful if you could let me know …
The changes are the same as with reporting questions, and we either repeat the
question word or use
whether.
