Before you write

An email you can adapt
The subject “Browser details for case [reference]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Browser details for case [reference] Hi [name], To investigate [page or issue], please tell us your browser name, version and device type. Also let us know whether the problem happens on every attempt or only after [relevant action]. You do not need to provide remote access, passwords or a full device report. If you already tried another supported browser, mention the result, but please preserve any unsaved work before testing anything further. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
Environment information helps narrow a problem but does not prove the customer’s browser is at fault.
What a useful reply should settle
