And using a question gives the benefit of a doubt that the person is (probably) very busy, they need to prioritize, the request just got buried under other work, and they may not understand the urgency or the importance of the matter to you. Don't draw attention to the fact that this may be a "repeated request" or use words like "remind," "still," or "again" since that can sound like you're scolding.
If you're making a reasonable request, there's no need to preface with "sorry" about this or that. You can hint at the amount of time you've been waiting and provide genuinely helpful information by referring to an earlier correspondance: "I was wondering if you have had a chance to look Many times, a question can be used in place of a statement that seems too demanding or schoolmarmish: However, it depends, and I recognize that this viewpoint avoids the literal question of what to replace those two words with. Busy people like to get things done quickly, and if their staff has a lot of work they'll appreciate a to-the-point email. Personally, in any case I would drop the apology or thank you, in fact all extraneous parts of the email altogether. I/We apologize for the repeated request.I don't think it's quite necessary to avoid these two words, but there are a number of options if this is your goal. I would like to use examples of the two sentences above in an email directed to an organization, but I would like to avoid using "you" or "bug", if possible. If you are paying for this service or for support (which you may not be), I wouldn't worry about apologizing for requesting it, especially if your previous request was not attended to. This is most likely how I would write it, an apology seems to be an admission that you feel "bad" for asking and can sound "whiny", while a thank you gives the idea that you feel "good" about their previous help and appreciate it. Thank you for your help with X, but we are still having problems with it and. In case I haven’t made it clear, you really ought to see the hilarious, bizarre and truly surprising “Sorry to Bother You”.I assume by "Sorry to bug you again about this" that you were already given help with "X", so instead of an apology, perhaps a thank you would work better: Suffice it to say that even at its weirdest, Boots Riley (who wrote and directed) has some interesting stuff on his mind - race, class, the stultifying reality of work, the way our ambitions get in the way of our principles, and the way that our identity at work can be something almost entirely different than the way we are in repose.
That plot synopsis gets you about halfway through the movie, but where it goes in its second-half has to be seen to be believed. His girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson) is an artist and a burgeoning revolutionary, and his friends at Regalview are threatening to strike if they don’t get better pay, but Cassius seems destined to be a Power Caller, with all the moral compromise that may entail. He starts making more money, gaining more praise from his bosses at Regalview. He tries it and finds that he’s got a prodigious talent for it. An aging coworker (Danny Glover) tells him that there is one unambiguous secret to success as a telemarketer you have to put on a “white voice”. He’s told two things: to stick to the script, always, and that if he performs well enough he will get a job upstairs with the Power Callers, mysterious moguls who make millions selling… something. “Sorry to Bother You”, to the extent that it can be described, is about Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield, also in last year’s similar “Get Out”) who eagerly takes a job at a telemarketing company called Regalview. But that’s ok, because Boots Riley has, whether he meant to or not, given us a “Brazil” for these modern times. Gilliam has tried, then, to make what he called a “Brazil” for today, which was called “Zero Theorem”, and which was awful. Its also interesting because director Terry Gilliam has gone on record that “Brazil” (if you haven’t seen it, I’ll give you the length of this parenthetical to rent it from your local video store and watch it before continuing) is no longer relevant, and that its tale of the dream-crushing capabilities of corporate bureaucracy is out of touch with modern times.
I love how deftly it mixes dystopic satire with absurdism, tragedy with comedy.

“Sorry to Bother You” is Easily One of the Most Interesting Movies of the Year, Probably Longerīefore I ever saw “Sorry to Bother You”, hip-hop artist-cum-filmmaker Boots Riley’s hilarious, transgressive satire, I had heard it compared to Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil”, which sounded great - “Brazil” is probably my favorite movie of all time.
