Default It pleases me to... and have always regarded him as...

I am pleased to introduce to you a very good friend of mine, Mr. Y, who represents the Northern Rubber Company.

In the last few years I have had many transactions with Mr. Y and I have always found him to be a person of the highest integrity.

I transcribed the text above from an old book entitled "Business English." The text clearly contains non-EP words.

Does the following attempt at translating it into EP appear valid?

It pleases me to introduce to you a very good friend of mine, Mr. Y, who represents the Northern Rubber Company.

In the last few years I have had many transactions with Mr. Y and I have always regarded him as a person of the highest integrity.

If not, please give me your own translation of it.



Thank you.
