Indicating doesn't work here because this means pointing out. In the given situation one person wants another person to do something so asking is the correct word.

Hello Joli,

Actually if we would like Mr. Torsten answer to us, we should be careful how to write correctly! I mean that it is just not gramatical way. Also I can make mistakes. And Teachers will corect me. But we should careful capital letters or shorten way the words, for example ''u''..
