...for somebody to.../ ...for assisting somebody in ...

Here is what happened and what i am trying to say:

A client has sent us an application form in hard copy format with some information missing. Therefore, I would like to write him an email to request the submission of the missing information, namely applicant's maternal name, and our staff will fill in the missing field on application form for the applicant.

Could anyone tell me which of the following sentences sound more clear and formal, and which one is grammatically incorrect?


1. Please kindly provide your maternal name for us to complete your application form.

2. Please kindly provide your maternal name for assisting us in completing your application form.

3. Please kindly provide your maternal name for the completion of your application form. Our staff would fill in the missing field for you.

4. Any other suggestion?


Thanks a lot.
