The email is badly formatted. There are many unnecessary paragraphs / line breaks in the middle of sentences. It looks unprofessional, and does not reflect well on the sender's technical abilities.

There are a number of other problems with the email, such as the ALL CAPS SUBJECT (which people hate) the fact that the sender has started an email with "Dear Sir/Madam" when they know the recipient's name (sir/madam is used when you don't know their name), and the coupling of Dear Sir/Madam with the signoff "Thanks", which is also incorrect. Also, why is the word "very" capitalised? And other such bizarre mistakes.

It just looks extremely unprofessional.
