put my input

[Economist2010]

Hi All,

I am writing in response to the news that Ahmed has resigned. It seems that many want to show their loyalty to him and although I didn't get the chance to work with him but I would like to put my input like others who knows him.

Is it correct to use "my input" as mentioned above

Perhaps:

Although I didn't get the chance to know him I would like to wish him well.

I don't know what you mean by put my imput.

I Wanted to say" I would like to do like them and show my loyalty to Ahmed"

Can I use "input" or "participate" in this context

I Wanted to say "I would like to do like them and show my loyalty to Ahmed"

Then say that..

Can I use "input" or "participate" in this context?

I am not sure why you want to. Unless you are looking for a reason to use those words my advice is to not bother.

If you have not worked with him or under him, why would you want to show your loyalty to him? You probably mean "joining others to show your appreciation", but why would you do that when you don't know the person?

If you've been asked to sign a leaving card for someone you don't know and have never worked with, the best thing you can do is write "Good luck for the future".

Have my say?

Write a farewell message.

Give my two cents' worth.

Re: give input

Hi All,

I am writing in response to the news that Ahmed has resigned. It seems that many want to show their appreciation, and although I didn't get the chance to work with him, [STRIKE]but[/STRIKE] I would like to join those who know him.

Join them in what? In thanking him for his contributions to the company? In congratulating him on his new job? In buying him a goodbye present?

You haven't completed the thought yet.

Is it correct to use "my input" as mentioned above?

No. And the phrase "put my input" doesn't make sense. You can give it, offer it, or provide it, but you can't put it.

Again, always punctuate the ends of sentences. If you don't, they're not sentences.

 

[emsr2d2]

I wanted to say space here "I would like to do [STRIKE]like[/STRIKE] the same as them and show my loyalty to Ahmed."

Can I use "input" or "participate" in this context?

Note my corrections above.

When I was in first grade, I lost a spelling bee by spelling owl W-O-L.

My school spirit has been AWOL ever since.

I think you should have pointed out that if "W-O-L" was a good enough way for A A Milne to spell "owl" all the way through the Winnie-the-Pooh books, you should have been allowed to have the point! ;-)
