For instance, a person admires other person's writing or great knwoledge of x subject matter or writing, and that person wants to show that he/she respects (admires) that other person's writing or knowledge: woud 'my most sincere respect to you' fit more appropriately given that context?
You could write that, but that doesn't mention their writing or say why you respect them. You can say: I have a great respect for your writing. I greatly respect your writing. I greatly respect you for your writing.
I'd like to send my respects to you, and tell you how much I appreciate your writing.
Thank you so much for your prompt answer. Really appreciated it. | R. |
