Instruction and answer

Instruction

Choose the most natural ranking.

Correct answer

Could you send it over? -> Please send the file. -> I wait your file.

Explanation

The safest client phrase is 'Could you send it over?' A direct request can still work, but 'I wait your file' sounds translated and incomplete.
