Hi Mark, you still haven't sent me the files. I need them today or the launch slips again. This is the third time I'm asking.

Hi Mark, Just circling back on the files — do you think you could get them to me today? The launch date depends on them, so the sooner I have them the safer we are. Let me know if anything's blocking on your end. Thanks! [your name]
