    Default Es - A peticion de or me ha pedido

    I was wondering, when writing on behalf of someone is it

    A peticion de so and so or
    so and so me ha pedido....

    also any suggestion on books I can read to improve my spanish business vocabulary?

    I'm reading these threads and I find more and more I know spanish less and less

    Thanks!

    If by "behalf" you mean "representing", I'd say "en nombre de"
    if on the other hand you mean "in support of", I'd say "a favor de"

    Sorry, don't know any books about improving your business Spanish. I'm sure you can find samples of business letters in Spanish on the web though.

    Here are different examples,
    A solicitud de (name), le informo such and such
    Por petición de (name), le informo such and such
    A nombre de (name), le envío such and such
    En representación de (company name or group of people), permítame informarle
    In a signature you may use,
    En ausencia de (name)
    (your name)
    En representación de (name)
    (your name)
    Let us have the whole sentence, to let you know which one better applies.

    In English I would have written:

    On behalf of Mr. Rivas, I am sending you the Price List addendum for Fiscal Year 2010.

    The addendum reflects only new product.

    I translated it as:

    Adjunto encontraras una adición de productos a la lista de precios anteriormente presentadas.

    El archivo solo incluye los productos respecto de los cuales se realiza la adición.

    En nombre del Sr. Rivas, adjunto a la presente, sírvase encontrar el addendum a la Lista de Precios para el Año Fiscal del 2010. El archivo únicamente ennumera los nuevos productos agregados a la lista.
    Another option should be
    Por instrucciones del Sr. Rivas, adjunto …

    It depends on the way you address your client, No. I meant, the way you relate to Mr. Rivas, that's it.

    Thank you Benilde, that does sound a lot better than my translation.
