Q: How should I write a very polite email asking for a quick review?

Detailed Question -

I am in AE ASSIGNED status after the journal submission. I would like to send a very polite email asking for a quick review.

After submitting the paper, the status of “AE Invited” and “Submitted” was repeated several times, and two months later, the status was changed to “AE ASSIGNED”. So, I would like to send an email to ask for a quick review very politely and earnestly. Also, want to ask if I can recommend a reviewer. It would be appreciated if you could help me with what English expression I can use in this email.
