Hi, Mike!
>Grammarians: Please correct this, in lieu of current grammar rules.
1. "in lieu of" means "in place of."
You mean "according to."
>I am writing you in regards to your stationary notebooks sold at many of
your CVS Pharmacy Stores.
2. "in regards to" has several problems; "about" will suffice.
"stationary" means sitting still; "stationery" is what you want.
>A few months ago, I noticed a change in type of material
used on the front cover.
3. "in type of" should be "in the type of;" however, "in the material
will suffice.
"on the front cover" would be better as "for the front cover."
>I have found some of the older type notebooks
4. "the older type" is inelegant; "the older" will suffice.
>This will meet
5. "This" is vague, as well as singular; "They will meet" is better.
>I hope you will consider my comments for future reference.
6. "I hope . . . etc." is vague and requires no outcome.
"Please inform me about your plans for the notebook covers."
