2. Please tell him sorry for me.

Thanks,

MG.

1. (I) Haven’t had a chance to go through the report in great detail. It's a set phrase: in great detail. You can leave out the subject I in casual conversation.




2. Please tell him 'sorry' for me.

I mistook the first one for a question. I understood that going through your post.

Are the changes I have done with the second sentence all right?
