Is it write to you or write you?
The letter is a formal business letter, so it must be “I am writing to you”. “Writing you” is colloquial and informal.
Have you wrote or written to us?
“Written” and “wrote” are both forms of the verb “to write.” Wrote is the simple past tense of “to write.” Written is the past participle of “to write.”
How do you use in regards to?
The correct phrase is “in regard to.” You may be confused because “as regards” is another way to introduce a topic. Many people believe both phrases are unnecessary business jargon. Better options, depending on the particular sentence, include “concerning,” “regarding,” “about,” “in,” and “with.”
Have written or wrote?
“Wrote” is the simple past tense of “write.” “Written” is the past participle of “write,” and it is used to create the perfect tenses; “written” must be combined with an auxiliary verb (e.g., “is written,” “have written,” “had written,” or “will be written”).

Is it OK to write his or her in an essay?
Writing “his or her” or “his/her” can start to look clunky, and No. 1 on the Writer’s Digest 10 Commandments list states: “Thou shalt avoid clunkiness at all costs.” Our rule is to alternate pronouns: If we say “he” in one paragraph referencing a non-specified gender, the next time an example comes up in the article we’ll use “she.” And so on.
What is the correct way to use the word ‘he or she’?
If necessary, use “one” instead of “he or she” or “his or her.”. However, one should avoid this formulation as well, if possible, since the use of “one” can be awkward. Less desirable: A person who masters the basic rules of grammar, punctuation, and good writing is likely to impress his or her supervisors.

Is it OK to use “he” or “she” in an article?
Therefore it’s OK to write “he/she,” “he or she” or declare one gender to use throughout an article. Many writers will stick with their own biological genes—men tend to use the pronoun “he” while women generally use “she.”. Both ways are perfectly fine. The preference lies in the hands of the writer.
