Buenas noches:
Estoy tratando de traducir una carta para que suene natural en español. Esto es lo que dice en inglés:

Tengo algunas ideas, pero no sé si serían naturales en español:
Tengo entendido que usted ha...
Es de mi conocimiento que usted ha...
Entiendo que usted ha...

¿Qué opinan? El registro en inglés es formal ya que se refiere a un puesto.

agree  Richard Boulter: I like it with the 'segun...', very much. Of course all of the suggestions are right, & your own proposals are correct, too. I think 'es de mi conocimiento' is more-formal, but then you have to match that level in the letter; this may be hard for you.
