He was also told that they would officially informed the department concerned about this test result. Mr. Fabian has informed us that he got confirmation from the agency that he ~~had~~ passed the test. He was also told that they would officially informed the department concerned about this test result. Native speakers are likely to think these sentences sound rather silly because of all the repetition.informed . . . informed . . . test . . test . . .
has . . has . . . has. . . . In addition, do you need to emphasize who told who? This makes it sound a bit like you think the news may not be true. Overall, the result is that these sentences seem very long-winded. Can you just write it like this? Mr. Fabian has passed the test. The agency will notify the department concerned. Clive
