How many individuals are on the application? If there are many it sounds correct. If there are one or two sounds ridiculous.

I think it is improper professional language. You all is another way of saying "y'all", which someone would never write in a business letter.

The problem is that there is an inconsistency in the english language in that there is no plural for "you". "You" is both singular and plural. He or she becomes they or them.

That is why in the South, y'all is used (or even "all y'all"), and in other parts of the country, "you guys" is used.

There is no need for either because you is already plural.

I think the interesting thing is, if english had a plural "you", we wouldn't feel the need to make it plural, thus you guys, you all, y'all, all y'all, youz, etc.

That's why I think it should have been "all of you" if anything is used other than "I look forward to working with you".

It's not an end of life thing for me but I try my best to use proper language when speaking or writing, especially in a professional environment. This was a loan officer. I expect better. Perhaps I should not.

Silly question here but how has he done so far? IF he has acted professionally and to reasonable standards, I think while you are right in that he wasn't writing in absolutely professional language, I'd rather he does the right thing. I'd be glad to trade him for my developer's realtor. You couldn't find a fault with what he said. Always professional and polite sounding, correspondence impeckable. He had one slight flaw though. We were all set to close on a Friday morning at 0800 and he called my realtor at 2100 hrs THURSDAY saying that he didn't get something from my bank. WTF!! I'll just call my good friend the CEO of Wells Fargo and have him burn some midnight oil AT THE LITERAL 11TH HOUR. I can't remember what it was but it was the last thing needed. Why didn't he call me 48 hrs before and tell me that he didn't get it from the bank or even Thursday am? Apparently even the developer pretty much admitted it was his fault for the late notice of something he didn't get by saying they were sorry and in mitigation, he was very busy.

I'd be way more concerned with whether he can make the transaction go smoothly than his singular incident of verbiage you are unhappy with. If it is one issue, I'd be willing to let it go. If every other word in the letter sounds like some 5 yo kid from the ghetto, you might have a point.

My dear sir, the apropriate spelling is "youse" followed by a closing statement that includes the words "baseball bat" and "kneecaps".

Just me come to think of it.

Aside from the number of parties involved I am still of the opinion that the wording is not professional. Similar to when people use "irriguardless". It's not proper english.

I think the proper use would have been to say "all of you".
