Hi everybody, Is there a difference between "If you have further questions, write to me, don't hesitate to write me" and "If you have further questions don't hesitate to write to me?

The former example sounds a bit weird to me. What about the verb "to contact"? Does it imply that there has been no previous conversation between the two? I mean, you can use it only when you start the conversation?

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me correct or incorrect? Are there more common ways of expressing the above mentioned idea without running the risk of my English becoming too colloquial? Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Benjy Write to me Member Milton Keynes, UK. P ersonally I 'd say dont hestitate to write to me.

Y ou don't write somebody, you write things to them although you might write on them. D on't hesitate to contact is fine, you might also consider don't hesitate to get in touch.

See, I work as a technical writer and sometimes i have to adjust my style to my manager's whims, write to me. You've proved him wrong now, although he'll never know, write to me. What I'm still not sure about is the use of "to contact". What about the verb "to register"?

I have doubts as to the correct preposition. Best, Marco. Thanks Benjy! That's useful information. jacinta Senior Member California. Nick Senior Member Western USA. I usually say "Register at Yahoo" or whichever site. Yes, you're right, Nick. That's how I say it, too, come to think of it. flaze Member Catania, Sicilia. I find that 'sign up at' is more ambivalent than 'sign up with', because 'at' has connotations of a place at which to sign up, whereas 'with' straightforwardly says that one is signing up to be a member of the organisation, and nothing more.
