Many of your friends
Are these sentences correct:
1) Many of your friends I like, but John is not one of them.
2) Many of your friends I would do business with, but John is not one of them.
The normal phrasing would be:
I like/would do business with many of your friends...
But I wanted to see if '1' and '2' could work if one wanted to emphasize 'many of your friends'.
Gratefully,
Navi.
