Question mark vs Full stop

Post by Lone »

Dear Alan,

I found the below sentence in a Business English Magazine:

Could you please let me know when the new cheque is ready.

The above sentence is a question, isn't it? Should a question mark (?) be used instead of a full stop (.) at the end?

Thank you!
