So, don't end the email with "Does everyone approve?"

Start with "Unless you disagree, I'll ..." Instead :)

Maybe a nit, but I think it’s very valuable:

“I’ll ..., unless anyone disagrees”

2 changes:

- Starting the sentence with a doubt can highlight doubts so I’d avoid that.

- “Anyone” distributes responsibility, because https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_responsibility

Thanks! Those are good points. I've read about diffusion of responsibility before but didn't think about it now
