Dispose
Hi,
How will you rephrase the following sentence so it is more suitable for business writing?
I don't need it. You can do whatever you like with it.
I'm thinking (correct me if I have incorrectly used "dispose"):
The item is no longer required. Please feel free to dispose it however.
Thank you.

Thank you, Clive.
Doesn't "to dispose of something" mean to get rid it, while "to dispose something + adv./prep." means to arrange it in a particular way? At least that's what my dictionary tells me.

Yes, you are right chenyincheng -- and perhaps that's what you wanted.
Dispose of (get rid) an item that you no longer need/require.
