[Closed] Rate my english please

yeah any English bank should find this easy to read... but you'll have a much easier time if you can get them to print out a letter using the banks letter head.

still, bring this as it may save some time.... or bring what you hope it would say so they know what you're asking.

Ok thank you.
My personnal bank adviser will print out a letter using bank letter head with this text.
It's just that if he needs to write the letter himself he'll have to ask the international bank service (and it may take a long time) cause his english is worse than mine ♦

Also, another question about "dates".
In french we write a date with: day/month/year.
In english it's: month/day/year.
Am I right?

Na, we do day/month/year here as well.

I've never seen it done any other way here.

Also, just change your sentence a little bit

With this letter we confirm that François (birthday *; bank account n°* opened **) has never had any incident with us concerning this account.

And good luck

Thank you Jim4rdo ♦

just a further note on date format... it depends where you are going.

USA uses mm/dd/YYYY and as with most things in the US they are completely baffled by DD/mm/YYYY

Canada switches between the 2 so to be clear I would maybe use a DD, MMM, 'YY format such as 10, Jun, '11 but if you have day > 12 it becomes implicitly obvious and we can work it out

Australia uses dd/mm/YYYY but as with above for a day > 12 we would be able to work it out

NZ is same as Aus I believe

Not so certain on UK haven't spent much time dealing with them but I believe it is same as Aus and NZ.

hope this helps

p.s. Your written English is VERY good! I get emails from Native speakers that are less legible than this!

So we can recommend him to your services.

Hi,

I'm french and I'm planning to moving away from France.
I may open a bank account and in order to do that I've asked my French Bank a letter of recommandation.
But it will be much faster if I write it and then they just sign it...
So I've write one but my english is not so good and I'm asking you if that's ok:

"adress of my bank

date

Dear Sir/Madam,

With this letter we confirm that François (birthday *; bank account n°* opened **) never had any incident with us concerning this account.
So we can recommand him to your services.

Should you have any questions please contact the writer.

Yours truly,"

Thank you.

To whom it may concern,

This following letter will confirm that Francois ****************, never had any incident with us concerning the mentioned account. We are willing to recommend him for your services

maybe a little picky but maybe it helped a bit. "So we can..." after your first statemen doesn't sound right to me

I agree with this, so we can doesn't sound very good

quoting:

----

Should doesnt fit in this sentence

If you have any questions please contact the writer.

sounds better

not tryin to start a arguement here but i think your being nitty... i am pretty sure "should" is used to give recomendations or advice so I think it works better than "if" which your using it as a conjunction so should typically not be used to start a sentence

i could be wrong of course lol

maybe "Please, if you have any questions..."
but even Please, should you have any questions..." sounds better no?
