Is this sentence correct?

Hi,

Am writing an email with a closing sentence...

"Please call me upon arrival and I will come forth to receive for you" or

"please call me upon arrival and I will come forward to receive you"

Which sentence is correct?

Thanks :-)
  

Top answer

receive you as in 'come and get you at the airport'? receive you as in 'come and get you in the lobby'? The second clause won't do in any case.

  • receive you as in 'come and get you at the airport'?
  • receive you as in 'come and get you in the lobby'?
  • The second clause won't do in any case.
  • Neither come forth nor come forward will work.
  • Please call me when you arrive and I'll come and get you [at the airport / in the lobby / at reception].

They are both semantically awkward in my opinion.

For a simple email, I would just say:

Please call me when you arrive. I will come to pick you up.
