A friendly tip: no matter how politely phrased, directly commanding

people to give you code comes across as rude. "Does anyone have any

know
there are big differences between languages and cultures in this kind

thing, so I don't read any impoliteness into your request, but only
because of conscious effort not to.

Hey, John,
He did say "please". I think his request was polite and to the point.
You are asking too much from non-native speakers. Let's see how well
you do in his language.
