A formal email to a stranger needs a neutral, polite and indirect register. «I would be grateful if you could send me the course details.» uses a conditional polite request and no colloquial words. «Could you send me the course details, mate? I need them quickly.» contains the informal word «mate» and sounds urgent. «I want you to send me the course details by tomorrow morning.» is a blunt demand, not a request. «Just send me the course details, OK? I'm really busy right now.» is colloquial and impolite. So only «I would be grateful if you could send me the course details.» fits the formal speech norm.
