Post Re: Please advise us or Please advice me?

Hi

"Please advise us" is the correct one
For your information,
"advice" is a noun whereas "advise" is a verb

If you want to use "advice", you have to say like
"Please give advice" because in this sentence it is used as noun.

Advice : An opinion as to a decision or course of action
Advise : To offer advice

Hope you will be clear!!!!
