[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was also trained to say "we" but I honestly though it is because I am in the federal government in a policy-heavy job, and "we " indicates that I am speaking for my whole policy team. "We approve" or "(Office symbol) approves" or "We have reviewed the report". The plural is because I don't have any of my own opinions. My team or my organization has policy positions. [/quote] Yeah, I say "we" when I am speaking for the office, as it were, and "I" when I am speaking for myself. As for the emails, there's nothing wrong with saying that you did something if you actually did it. Cut out the fat, though. "This is to let you know," "I am letting you know," etc. is just filler. Just say the thing you are letting them know. And eliminating the subject of the sentences is annoying. [/quote]
