Hello Teacher,

I just want to ask are there other expresions that i can use instead of
owing to or due to as i got bored of using them too much in my business emails so are there any alternatives ?

thanks for your assistance

Try,

...because of....
...caused by...
...on account of....

Also,

...ascribable to...
...imputable to...
...referable

Quote:
1) "punctuation errors ascribable to careless proofreading";
2) "the oversight was not imputable to him";
3) "decide to which of these motives such extraordinary scenes are referable" Charles Dickens
