Is this sentence grammatically correct... I have sent an email requesting you be added to the list?

The sentence is grammatically correct, but it could be worded more smoothly. Here's why:

* Slightly awkward phrasing: The phrase "requesting you be added" feels a bit clunky.

* Passive voice: Using "be added" is passive voice. It's grammatically correct, but active voice is often preferred for clarity and conciseness.

Here are a couple of ways to improve the sentence:

Option 1 (Active voice):

* "I have emailed requesting that you be added to the list."

Option 2 (More direct):

* "I have emailed to request that you be added to the list."

Option 3 (Simpler):

* "I've emailed to get you added to the list."

The best option for you will depend on the tone and formality of your communication.
