Multilevel priors with no hierarchical data?

I have a question about multilevel models and expect you to offer me some help.

Given the name of the writer, I'm guessing English might not be their first language. In which case you could probably translate the first sentence as "I'm sure your opinion would be helpful" or something like that.

Probably, it was a mistake by a non fluent english writer. Long time ago, I wrote "I expect you ..."; but I wanted to say "I hope you ...".

I read it first as "I expect you could offer some help" which is country for a polite request which also compliments the expertise of the other person.

There may be a similar colloquialism in his or her language.
