It is polite to ask for a job by a friend. You should not send an email from your personal work account. You do not want to be viewed as a friend who needs a recommendation.
Be polite
When you ask for a job with a friend working in a company you should be polite. It is important to be clear about your goals and capabilities, as well as sharing information about your past experience. They should not be bombarded with requests for employment. A simple letter with a few lines will do.
It may feel awkward, but remember that you are not asking for a friend's recommendation because of a friendship. You should be polite when asking for a referral. This won't change your friendship with your friend. Make sure you acknowledge your friend's help by expressing your gratitude.

Introduce yourself in the email
Send an introduction email to the person who will read it. Begin with a compliment or mention that you have grown up in the same place. Explain why you are writing this email. Perhaps you had a common contact and were given their email address.
A well-written email subject can make or break an introduction. It should be engaging and clear about who you are and what you want. Many people are overwhelmed with emails and might be reluctant to open an email from someone new.
Avoid asking for a recommendation from a friend
It can be awkward asking a friend to recommend you when you are applying for a job. However, these rules can help you avoid awkward situations by following some simple rules. These rules will assist you in this delicate situation while protecting your professional reputation.
It's a nice gesture but it shouldn't be extended too far. Although most people are willing to help a friend, they may hesitate to recommend them to their current employer. You should verify the suitability of the person you're recommending to your potential employer before recommending them.

You should not send the email from work.
First of all, you should never write anything inappropriate on a work email account. For receiving inappropriate email, this applies double. Ask your friend to stop sending unsolicited emails from his/her work account if you are unsure if an email is inappropriate.
Sending job requests should be done from your personal email address. It is better to use your personal email account to send job requests. Reduce the number of emails you send from your work email account to help you land your first job.
