I agree! Take the splash first, we can`t save you from drowning unless you're in the water....
However, I suggest you start with the third one. Frankly, number two doesn`t make any sense to me.

6. I'd say 'The department will now be sending invoices a week earlier.' This makes it clear that it is a change in policy and will be on-going.

9 This is a tricky one. I can't think of an elegant way to phrase it. 'I am warning' rather than 'I warn'. I am warning you that it is dangerous not to co-operate with the personnel manager.
