Relating to the Question You Asked (Formal)
“Relating to the question you asked” is a great formal alternative to “as per your request.” You should use it when you have gathered information to respond to someone’s previous question.
It’s most common to use this phrase when emailing a client who needs updated information. It shows them you have searched for an answer to their question. Usually, such an answer comes in the form of an attachment.
You can use “relating to the question you asked” and “as per your request” in formal emails. They are both effective, making them good professional choices. Why not try switching between the two to keep your language choices fresh?
Here are a few email examples showing you how it works:

Since You Asked (Informal)
“Since you asked” is a great informal synonym for “as per your request.” It shows that someone asked something, and you found a way to answer their query.
Usually, it means you have something physical to give them an answer (i.e. a file or document).
You’ll find this phrase works best conversationally. For example, you might use it when speaking with a colleague who asked for your input into a project and would like to know what you’d do next in their position.
“Since you asked” also tends to work better in spoken situations rather than written ones. It can seem a bit jarring in written cases, especially if you include it in an email.
Finally, “Since you asked” isn’t all that effective formally. You should definitely stick with “as per your request” if you want to be as professional as possible in written contexts.

Is It Correct to Say “As Per Your Request”?
“As per your request” is grammatically correct, but many writers see it as redundant.
Instead, you might find that “per your request” works better because “as” and “per” mean the same thing.
Generally, you should include the phrase in a business email. It directs the recipient toward an attached file if they’ve specifically requested something.
Here are some variations you can use:
- As per your request, please find attached the documents
- As per your request, please find the below information
- As per your request, please find attached my resume
You don’t always have to include “as per your request” at the start. The following are both correct:
- As per your request, please find attached
- Please find attached, as per your request
There isn’t a tonal difference between the two based on where you place the phrase.
When using “as per,” you should always use “your request.” “Request” is a noun. You should never try to turn “request” into a verb (so, “as per requested” is never correct).
- Correct: As per your request, please find the attached file.
- Incorrect: As per requested, please find the attached file.
