Agreements will be despatched by next week, as our regional office has been closed for the last two days.

The content is not as much incorrect as it is confusing. Business letters should be very precise and as brief as possible.

Comments:

"Agreements" is plural - meaning two or more. Also, if the reply is to a large company you might want to define the agreements so as to not cause confusion. IE: The Widget Petrol documents, or the Agreement to Purchase the Widget Companies.

If the "reason is obvious" to both writer and reader there is no reason to mention it. However, if the reader is not familiar with your customs, you might add "the office is will be closed for two day to observe our annual Customer Appreciation Holiday.

The word, 'regional' is a generic term that needs neither explanation nor a capital letter.

I suggest:

The two Widget agreements will be delayed until next week as our regional office in Widget Town will be closed for two days. You should receive the documents no later than Thursday August 19, 2009.
