| Jul 29, 2014 at 15:40 | comment | added | user1478 | I think this question should be left open, not closed as a duplicate, since there's doubt as to whether it's completely explained by the other answer (several of us have chosen not to close as duplicate). | |

I searched for「ては」and「てはいただけません」, but didn't think to search for は with negatives in general. It's sometimes difficult to know what to search for. Thanks for the link. | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 1:48 | comment | added | user1478 | @dainichi I notice in BCCWJ that てはいただけませんか has only 3 results, but ていただけませんか (without は) has 317. It doesn't seem like は is often used here, so I was trying to figure out what it might add to the sentence. | |
