Sentence correction

Is this sentence correct? Is 'above that' used correctly? Or would the word 'additionally' be better to use?

Above that we will also be accepting special requests.

Anonymous Is this sentence correct? 'Also' does the job quite nicely unaided: We will also be accepting special requests.

Yes, that is what I thought - sentence sounded redundant with both above that and also, which is basically repeating the same thing. Is that right?

I would also like to know the difference between:

We will also be accepting special requests.
We will also accept special requests.

Are both possible, and is there a difference?

Both are fine. The first is friendlier.

Thank you. And is my interpretation regarding the unnecessary use of 'above that' correct?
