please help im referring to 1 e-mail address of each user on the list.

2

So IS is the correct answer but I usually see people use are and refer to all email addresses on the list not each separately.

3

Although you are posting a list of people in one email, you should refer to it as being " are their addresses", no matter what Wanderer says to the contrary."

thanks to both of you, what if i use " below is the list of their e-mail addresses instead? is it acceptable too?

below is A list of their e-mail addresses.

6

I think it’s the best of all.

7

thanks again kitosdad! now im confused with a list and the list…regards!

8

The list would be specific, as in; “Here is the list you asked for.”
A list is just a general list.

9

I thought we should always put ‘the’ before the word ‘of’, like THE list OF email addresses?

Hi Leong187

Here is a very general guideline:

If it is the first time that particular list has been mentioned to the person you’re talking to, then you would generally use ‘a list’.

However, if the list has already been mentioned or referred to previously (in the broader context, perhaps even on a different day, for example), then you’d normally use ‘the’.

please send us your request “for us to plan” the activity. is that correct

thank you.

If you means send your request so that we might prepare the activity, then yes, it is.

13

thank you, is there other way to say it? I mean aside from using “for us to”

Should you have plan to proceed with the activity, please send us your preferred date and we’ll send you activity list.

thank you

“Please let us know your requirements so that we can plan the activity.”

As for the other part, how about:
"If you wish to book an activity, please send us your preferred date and we will supply a list of activities.
