What an awful email. Reads like a lazy VC associate trying to do as little work as possible to pass along metrics to higher ups.
I think this was intended to read the way it does. Google A/B tests everything, including how well canned messages work vs. more personal messages like this.

What? They had already met once. Given the context, it sounds like a continuation of the conversation, casual in nature, from a biz person to an engineer.
Why does casual need to mean "communicate poorly"? When I type out emails, casual or not, they're designed to at least get the message across. For something as important as an acquisition, I wouldn't want to feel like I'm dealing with an intern.

Give me an example of how you would do it while still maintaing the tone with a person you've only met once and want something from.
