Hi,

"He told me to ask you to call him.".. I hope this is correct. It's fine.

Is there a better way to tell this? You could say eg He wants you to call him.
This is not better, just different.

Hi,

He asked you to call him as he informed me.
He said to me that you want to call him.

Sorry, neither of these is good English.

Thanks for trying to help.

Suraj JalduHe told me to ask you to call him.
Correct. Here's a different way to say it, but not necessarily better:

He said he'd like you to call him.

Oh please! Please stop suggesting me. In others perspective the way of thinking would be different. You're not a proprietor of English. Please don't comment on my English, and do comment at your peril. @Clive.

Not only is this a rude remark, but it is not in keeping with the purpose of the forum. The forum exists expressly for the purpose of commenting on English. If you don't want to receive advice for improving your English, you should not be posting here at all.

Did I comment in "Arabic"? Please pause in your advises for me. I know what I am capable of. So, everything is self-understandable. I don't like anyone bullying me, and if you want to answer the correct one, go ahead, and don't drag me or comment on my update.
