Formal Letter Writing Conventions

Detect the error "I and my colleague/have carefully considered the important issues raised by/the report which you sent me and/ we have decided to take the following action"?

Answer: I and my
Explanation
  • The error is: "I and my"
  • The correct phrase should be "My colleague and I" or "My colleague and I have" instead of "I and my colleague".
  • This is because in English, the word "I" should always be placed last in a sentence when used with other subjects, especially when using a conjunction like "and".
