Morgan Sindall (Construction Infrastructure), working on behalf of Western Power Distribution (Serving the Midlands, South West and Wales), apologise for any inconvenience caused during these essential works.
Not much wrong with that, surely?

Re: I need an apology
The capital letter..
It's either 'Blah working on behalf of blah apologise.. "
Or "Blah.....behalf of blah. Apologies for....."
It's either 'Blah working on behalf of blah apologise.. "
Or "Blah.....behalf of blah. Apologies for....."

Re: I need an apology

Re: I need an apology
Stooz - go to the top of the Pedant's class. I confess that I missed the offending capital A. Anyway I'm just off to my Gentlemens's Barber. That should remind me to always thoroughly check out the grammar.

Re: I need an apology
"Apologies " instead of "Apologise " might have suited better or "We apologise...".
