Sentence sounds awkward
The end of this sentence sentence sounds very awkward, right?
I would be forever in your debt were you to suggest any ways by which I can improve my writing [ I have] (enclosed) below.
Why does it sound better when I move the and perhaps (enclosed) to have it read:
I would be forever in your debt were you to suggest any ways by which I can improve my writing enclosed below.
I think that replacing my with the and the having the 'I have enclosed below' sounds better, but why is this so?
I would be forever in your debt were you to suggest any ways by which I can improve the writing I have enclosed below.
Thanks!
