Please advise or advice in email
Here is an example of an email that uses "advise" instead of "advice":
Subject: Request for Guidance on Upcoming Project
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to seek your expertise and advise on an upcoming project that I am leading. As you are well-versed in this area, I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Specifically, I am looking for your advise on how to approach the project's timeline and budget. I am concerned about ensuring that we stay on track and meet our deadlines while also being mindful of our financial resources.
Would you be available to discuss this further with me? I would greatly appreciate any insights you can share.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Best regards, [Your Name]
In this example, "advise" is used as a verb, meaning to give guidance or counsel. The correct usage is:
- "I would like to advise you on the best course of action." (Here, "advise" means to give guidance or counsel.)
- "I would like to seek your advice on the matter." (Here, "advice" refers to the guidance or counsel itself.)
So, in the email above, "advise" is used to ask for guidance or counsel, whereas "advice" would refer to the guidance or counsel itself.
