feedback requests

I repeated a previous mistake today :-(

I wrote an email like:
I want to do X. Does that sound reasonable?

Later I had to send a followup stating what the initial email should have said:
I'm going to do X at 2pm unless I hear any objections.

There, much better.

I usually do: I'm planning to do x this this morning. Please let me know ASAP if you have any questions or concerns.

I think you are more polite.

It makes them think they have a choice. ;)
