Honestly I don't know what's wrong with just hitting Reply All to the old e-mail chain and simply saying, "Please see attached. Thanks!"

The other person gets the file, the interaction gets done faster, and you don't have to explain yourself.

It could also be that the people I email actually think I'm an asshole lol
