| Explanation | You can use thank you in advance if the person you are writing to has already said that they will do something for you: 'It was kind of you to offer to send me a copy. Thank you in advance.' You can also use this phrase if you are in a position of authority and know that the person you are writing to will do what you have asked. Otherwise, thank you in advance should not be used since it can cause offence. |
