I am writing a very formal letter to my customer and wondering whether the tense should be past, present or present perfect tense. Here are the sentenses;
A. It is a great pleasure to be given the opportunity of informing you that with the effective date of July 1, 2014, I have assumed my duties as the Chairman of company A. (Present Perfect)
B. It is a great pleasure to be given the opportunity of informing you that with the effective date of July 1, 2014, I assumed my duties as the Chairman of company A. (Past tense)
C.It is a great pleasure to be given the opportunity of informing you that with the effective date of July 1, 2014, I assume my duties as the Chairman of company A. (Present tense)
Because I specify the date (past) , will it have to be a past tense? Or because it is since the date, will present perfect be suitable?
Please let me know. Thank you in advance.
