Dear Mr. Sterling,

I know you are incredibly busy, but would you mind reviewing my presentation before the big meeting?

If it's not too much trouble, could you share the latest marketing data with me so I can update the charts?

Finally, would you mind if I took tomorrow morning off to recover from the stress of this project?

I know you are incredibly busy, but would you mind reviewing my presentation before the big meeting?

The verb reviewing is in the -ing form (gerund), which perfectly follows would you mind. "Could you" requires the base form (review).

If it's not too much trouble, could you share the latest marketing data with me so I can update the charts?

The verb share is in its base form, which requires could you. "Would you mind" would require sharing.

Finally, would you mind if I took tomorrow morning off to recover from the stress of this project?

To ask for permission politely, we use would you mind if I + the past tense verb (took). This creates a hypothetical, extremely polite request.
