have sth done
Hi! Will you correct the following sentences please? Is the model "have sth done' used correctly?
1. The company "Bush And Green" had a couple of letters sent by Christopher's order.
2. Have the doc printed in two copies.
3. Have the debts due to payment for long remembered by the trainee accountant.
4. When will you have the notification of the delivery received?
5. We need to have this matter brought up on Monday.
6. How often do they have a list of goods provided?
7. I'd like to have a working group of 3 to 5 selected to work out and take down all possible arguements "for" and "against".
Thank you for your corrections and comments!

Hi Kind Villain Did you start with different sentences and then try to change them to the 'have something done' format? If so, what were the original sentences? For now, I'd say sentence 2 would be better this way: Have two copies of the document printed.

Yes, I started with different sentences and then tried to change them to the 'have something done' format. I understand that you want to see the original sentences but sadly those were in my native language and the task was to translate them using the 'have something done' format. What I want to know now is whether the sentences in my first post are correct. Thanks for commenting on the second s

1. The company "Bush And Green" had a couple of letters sent by Christopher's order. --> ??? (I don't really understand what you want to say here.)
2. Have the doc printed in two copies. --> Please have two copies of the document printed.
3. Have the debts due to payment

Hi there!
Judging by the number of the wrong sentences, the only conclusion I can draw to is that the task in the text-book is not up to the mark. As I said in my previous post, the task was to use the 'have something DONE' structure. The original sentences (those that were in my first post), I reckon, were the only possible ways of using 'have smth done' to carry out the task of the text-boo
