    This phrase is very formal. It is like wearing a suit and tie. You use it in writing, like in business emails or official letters. You can say it, but it sounds very stiff. You only say it for very important talks, like a press conference.

    This is a direct request. It is not a question. Other forms like '〜ていただけないでしょうか' ask a question. '〜ていただきたく存じます' shows what you want. This form directly asks for something.

    Don't use this when you talk to friends. Don't use it with people below you. This form is for asking people above you for a favor. It is for people like customers or bosses. If you ask someone not to do something, the words change a little.
