contacting someone politely

[upreal]

Dear Teachers,

My friend suggested me to contact his teacher related to my undergraduate thesis. Would you like to check my writing and do you think the writing is polite?

Thank you for accepting my request Mr. Downey. I’m contacting you in regards to my undergraduate thesis. I am supposed to conduct a classroom action research using shadowing technique to improve students’ listening ability. One of journal articles I found is yours. I would be grateful if you could give me suggestions and share your experiences, and more references about shadowing technique because I only find few article regarding this technique.

Thanks in advance.

My friend suggested me to contact his teacher...

Is it correct to say "suggest someone to do something"?
Should I say "suggest that someone does something"?

Yes, it should be "My friend suggested that I contact his teacher".

"I could only find a few article"
Should "s" be added after "article"?
