Is this sentence correct, specifically this part "to proceed with the completion"?

Thanks a lot, Clive. I will use what you suggested.
I just wanted to check if '..to proceed with the completion of my...' was correct and grammatical, because my friend suggested it. So this part is correct, right?

Clive already answered this. Why make him repeat himself?

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure that it was specifically related to that part. I got it now. Thanks.

I would like to know if these are possible as well:
.. to proceed with the process of completing my paper work.
.. to proceed with the process of the completion of my paper work.

Yes, possible if you don't mind sounding clumsy.

Thank you. Are both clumsy? If so, can they be rephrased not to sound clumsy or is it not possible and it is just best to keep it simple as in the initial sentence?

Yes, both are clumsy. Your original sentence was clumsy, too,

I already gave you my suggestion, and you said that you'd use it.
