It means... 08:56 Sep 15, 2012
"for your information, and for you to keep in your records" — i.e. this is an important paper that you must keep safe.
The EN is quaintly stilted, almost as if written by a non-native speaker.
'(the) same' is a term once common in commercial EN, and still used a bit by people who think it is what makes a business letter sound professional (!), and means 'whatever we've just been referring to'; it's really a way of starting a new sentence while still talking about the same thing, so as to avoid a terribly long, convoluted phrase.
It is, however, as far as I am aware, pretty much extinct now (it's the sort of thing my Mum used to use as a secretary in the 1930s!), other than in certain constructions where it can still be useful, and occasionally in legal correspondence by people who ought to know better! |
