"I am looking for a Java program that..."
"Does anyone know how to write a program that.."
"Please, could someone write me a program that..."
English requires these circumlocutions. When you leave them out, it
suggests you hold yourself in very high esteem and the person you are
asking the favour of to be your slave, with no choice in whether he
complies.
In this English is a manifestation of a universal social phenomenon. While
forms of (im)politeness vary between societies, they exist in all.
Roedy's site, http://mindprod.com/, has much more great advice in it.
To the OP: to make your communication even clearer, and draw the best
responses, include some details of what you've been attempting to date, and
for what specific situations you seek feedback.
