Why have you added "to"?

Why have you added "to"?

Because send something to.
Send to, pass to. Verbs like these are followed by to. Am I wrong?

If it was "to whom do you want me to send the list?" or something similar then you would be right. However, the sentence begins "Please send..." so it's clear that the list is going to be sent to the writer of the email.

The relevant part equates to "The people who/whom you think will be unfit for the program". "Send" isn't important.

Thanks emsr2d2,

What is thought on the second sentence?

What would be the right format?

Oops! there is a difference between them but I mixed them together. Thank you for the clarification. So if what you said is right then "which" is the proper here because we use "whom/who" for persons.

It`s `whom` according to traditional public school grammar, but these days who is also accepted in most places, where whom can be considered obsolete.

1. Please send the names of those whom\who you think will be unfit for the program.

Is it whom or who?

2. Please send the list who\whom you think is unfit for the program.

Is the above sentence correct? Is it again who or whom?

Not a teacher.

For #2, do you mean "Please send the list (of the names) of those whom you think are unfit for the program"?

Not a teacher.

For #2, do you mean "Please send the list (of the names) of those whom you think are unfit for the program"?

Yes, but I do not want to mention "names" because the receiver will understand that I am talking about the names list.

Does that sound reasonable?

We ARE talking about people. The writer wants a list of names belonging to people!
