   Is it correct to use the word 'kindly'?

   • The word 'please' in your request already shows that you mean to be polite, so you don’t have to say 'kindly' as well. However, using 'kindly' could be perceived as too polite and potentially sarcastic. For instance, a China shop owner might say 'You need not wonder any more' after answering your question.
