If you're still interested....
Are these sentences grammatically correct and natural enough? I didn't get it whether or not "inversion" is used in the bold parts. Please explain it.

- "do you" and "would you" are question-forming inversions.
- With the punctuation fixed, these sentences are possible, but if this is a written business communication requiring some degree of formality then "do you fancy" is unsuitable, and the overall structure seems unnecessarily "fluffy" to me.
