Is this sentence grammatically correct?

Further to the e-mail below, we need to ship back the items as in the packing list to the supplier
  

Top answer

It is understandable, but very stilted language. Business emails should be clear and professional. So you need to state your request first, indicate that the packing list for the definitive list is attached, and refer to the prior email for reasons.
