Hi Zoe

"We confirm our agreement to change the Terms of Payment to "payment by cheque". Unfortunately, however, our Account Manager is on holiday until to 25th April. We will advise when you can collect the cheque on his return."


Hope this helps

"... on holiday until to 25th April...

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen "until to". So, if I understand correctly, it is okay to say "until to" instead of saying "... on holiday and will not be back until the 25th (of) April.". This version of yours saves one time, so I'd like to know whether it is commonly used by the native-speakers.

"... is on holiday until to 25th April" reads strange to me. I'm assuming Route21 mistyped (unless it's some BrE usage).

... is on holiday until April 25th ...

Hi - Yes

Many apologies, folks.

I was merely editing a copy of the original text and didn't notice it!
The "until to" came from the original post.

Freezeframe's correction works for me, as would "up to 25th April".

Many thanks for spotting it, euncu.
Best regards
