What's the ultra-polite way to invite someone to do something?


While reading [What's the polite way to invite someone to do
something?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/64772/whats-the-
polite-way-to-invite-someone-to-do-something), I noticed that many of the
comments/answers talk about how things are polite **_enough_** for an online
chat service. Well, I'm curious what would be the proper ultra polite way to
talk to your far far superior superior. A way of saying it suitable for the
situation where you need extreme politeness. Here's a situation I'm imagining:

> You are the newest employee and lowest on the corporate ladder for a huge
> megacorporation. You are a master of all polite forms of Japanese as well as
> being a qualified teacher of English. You by some accident are given the
> opportunity to talk to the CEO of said megacoporation, who doesn't speak
> English but wishes to learn. You wish to tell the CEO to feel free to
> contact you if they have any questions about English or want to learn
> English from you.

What would you say in Japanese? I've come up with

> 英語につきましては何なりとご連絡ください。お役に立てれば幸いです。

But I'm sure it could be made politer/more formal.

P.S. I'd also be interested if say you were talking to the Emperor/Prime
Minister/Other person of very high status if the appropriate language would
change. I imagine it would be different if you were a servant working for a
high class family.




There should be various ways to say what you want to say, but in the situation
you mention, I would say "英語に関することで私にお役に立てることがありましたら、いつでもおっしゃってください". It is
not super-super polite, but this level is politeness is appropriate for
conversation when an employee has a chance encounter with CEO (not when you
are asked to teach him as a part of your teaching job - in that case your
wording would be different but the politeness should stay the same)

Your "何なりとご連絡ください" is also very good, but it sounds a little bit business-
like, like a sales representative talking to a client (at least to me).

Also "幸いです" is often seen in written Japanese but less common in
conversational Japanese. If I want to use 幸いです I would say "嬉しく存じます" instead.

However, talking to the Emperor would be totally different. People would use
the highest honorific form they can think of, in other word, they would try to
be as stiff as possible sometimes using a literary style, sometimes pick up
some expressions they rarely use in normal conversation like
"お声をかけていただければ幸甚至極にございます" etc.

If you are a servant, you can talk like a concierge of a high-class hotel:
"何かお困りのことがございましたら、何なりとお申し付けくださいませ" but this is only appropriate when you are
in hospitality business or at a service desk.

Note that I am not a language teacher or a keigo master but a regular Japanese
who worked for Japanese corporations for several years. Correct me if my
answer contains error.
