Dear Epilio:
Hello, my name is **********. I am a student at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan.

What is the merit of “Epilio Calculator Plug-in”?
Thank you very much for your attention to my question. I hope to hear from you at your convenience, and I am grateful for your assistance with my research. Thank you once again, and have a nice day.

What merits, if any, does your calculator plug-in have?
Heh.

How does it compare to other offerings, how/why is it useful, etc.
I work with folks in Japan and "merit" comes up often in their English emails to us. Usually it means benefit, key feature, or selling point.
