Hi,

Which one is correct?

thank you for your help.

Let me use a simpler sentence.

The clerk sold an apple to me.
The clerk sold me an apple.
NOT: The clerk sold to me an apple. (This might not be a grammatical error, but it's unnatural.)

Can you tell which is the better sentence in your example now?
