The most obvious is to indicate who you are. I do not memorize your email address, so I cannot recognize thedudeman99@whatever.com as you. Pretend this like a semi formal letter. All you have to do in mention your name.

Some professionalism is appropriate. I am not your buddy who you send email jokes too. I am your college chemistry professor. No need to send me some cool chemistry joke you got from a friend. Trust me, I saw it long before you did.

Consider it a good ‘procedure’ for doing any type of equilibrium calculation.
1. What is in the system?
2. What does it do? Write the appropriate equilbrium equation and K expression.
3. What are the initial conditions? If you don’t know them, pick a variable.
4. Which way did it shift, by how much?
5. What are the final conditions? What do you know about them?
6. Answer the question posed.

Equilibrium Problems
Why should I make screencasts if you have sites like this?
