Usage of 'request'

[daemon99]

Can someone please tell me if the following usages of the word 'request' are fine?

1) I request you to go through all the documents.
2) I request that you go through all the documents.

Hi,

'Request' is more commonly used in the passive. For that reason I find both sentences a little stilted. I would suggest: You are requested to go through all the documents.
