Default Can I write like this to my General Manager :

Dear Teacher,

Please correct the following sentences if they are incorrect.

1) Can I write like this to my General Manager : Kindly arrange to pay my sales commission before I leave for India on vacation.

(Payment to be made from the Accounts department. So, can I use "arrange to pay" in the above sentence?)

2) I need to go to India urgently to resolve some personal problems.

Thanks in advance.

Sweetie.

1. Use the causative there. Kindly arrange to have my sales commission paid before I leave for India on vacation.

2. I must go to India immediately to resolve some personal problems.
