Several ways to express "because" and their differences
Hi,
In the following sentence:
The lawyer called us today saying that we needed to re-collect the evidence, because/the reason is that/the reason for which is that /the reason being that/ he died in that particular place.
My questions is what's the subtle differences between them(the reason for which is that/the reason being that...)?
In addition, if I want to use "the reason for which is that" or "the reason being that" in the above sentence, how to write the whole sentence and ensure that it is grammatically correct and right in meaning. Since now I would like to use "the reason being that..." for that sentence, but I'm afraid of making mistakes when our client reads my email.
PS:Please proofread my question sentence first Thanks very much!
