Hi,

Anything wrong with the below sentences.

As per our tele-conversation today, Mr. xxx has already resigned as Director with effect from 01 June 2008.

Our company secretary will send us the relevant documents by today.

Hi, To me, the words "as per" and "per" are functionally the same, but they mean "according to". Thus, replacing "As per" with "according to", we will get this: ACCORDING TO our tele-conversation today, Mr. *** has already resigned as Director with effect from 01 June 2008.

ACCORDING TO our tele-conversation today, Mr. *** has already resigned as Director with effect from 01 June 2008.

But the meaning would be doubtful. I would write like this.

You should give the context. Did you mean the following:

After our tele-conversation today, Mr. ... resigned as Director with effect from 01 June 2008.
