Young folks at my office keep forgetting to actually introduce themselves in emails

Honestly, it's a small thing but it bugs me. I've been working about 12 years now, and every time a new hire sends me a message they just launch into their question without saying who they are or where they work. I noticed this last month when a guy named Mark from accounting asked me for a file and I had no clue who he was. Just a tip, start with 'Hi I'm X from Y department' so the other person has context right away. Anyone else see this a lot at their new jobs?

Yeah it drives me nuts too, like how hard is it to just say who you are first?

How hard is it" is exactly it, people just don't put that basic effort in anymore. It's the same thing when someone texts "hey" and waits for you to ask who it is... like we've all just collectively forgotten how conversations work.
