Does this look right to you?

I'm afraid that this doesn't seem right. The loan to this company was made on September 1. However, in this document, it is September 2. Who prepared this document?

1. & 2. Use ordinal numbers when writing dates.
The document was made by the accounting department. I will take it to them and make sure that they fix the mistake.

I see. Thank you. Could you take this invoice too? They asked me for submitting it to them. Is there anything I should do before submitting an invoice?

1. Replace with the infinitive for clarity.
Please cross examine every figure on the invoice before we submit it.I would hate to have other errors coming out.Do you need my assistance on that?

That's true. My assistant and I checkd every figure twice and we are sure there is no error here. The day of payment is different from the regular payment schedule because of customer's request, and I already informed the accounting department of it by email.

1. Spelling correction.
2. Use the definite article when you refer to a specific thing.
3. Add the auxiliary verb to form the present perfect tense.
If everything is in order, you can proceed and submit the invoice. Do you think the mistake made by the accounting department is genuine, or something is fishy?

They should have a copy of the loan agreement, so I don't think they could make a mistake. So I don't know why the dates are different. When you go to the accounting department, do you want to bring a copy of this contract with you just in case?

1. Use the present perfect for something that happened in the past but is still relevant.
2. Leave out as you are discouraged from starting sentences with conjunctions, ''because, but, and, so''.
That really is rather unusual. Yes, as a matter of fact, I would actually appreciate that very much. I think that this would definitely clarify the situation.

I'll be in my desk for a while, so if you have any problems, please call me from the accounting department by the extension.

2. Rephrase to make the meaning clear.
