Rewriting senstences..
I would like to ask for help on how to rewrite the following sentences/phrases. You can ommit unnecessary words 
Thnx in advance.
1.This is to inform you that we have received your manuscript entitled... Although we found it interesting…..Under present day conditions there can be little doubt that nitrogen is perhaps the most important factor in feeding the world.
It is not necessary to stress the fact that….3.The purpose of these general notes is first to assist authors in the writing of scientific papers in an acceptable style
and secondly to suggest the introduction of greater uniformity in the general approach to the preparation of scientific papers for
publication. It is, nevertheless, clear specialized topics call for particular methods of presentation, and these notes should be read
in conjunction with any instructions issued by the journal in which the author hopes to publish. When the notes conflict with
such instructions, the latter should be followed.

- " is not needed.
- It is included in this sort of formal response as a matter of courtesy.
- " In both cases the words are used as formal courtesy rather than for carrying needed information.
- In your second example, the word "perhaps" is redundant since that sense is conveyed by "there can be little doubt" which suggests that there is still some (a little) doubt.

I think your first example is correct, although "This is to inform you that..." is not needed. It is included in this sort of formal response as a matter of courtesy. The same could be said of "Although we found it interesting..." In both cases the words are used as formal courtesy rather than for carrying needed information.
