disagree  Yuri Smirnov: Извиняюсь, но это не английская грамматика. См. мой ответ.

  -> а что именно вам не нравится ?

neutral  Mihailolja: Actually in English we do use such forms as "we badly need". Alexander's answer is not grammatically wrong.
7 mins
  -> Thank you, dear Mihailolja !

neutral  Elena Konstantinova: You can use "we badly need" but the phrase "we urgently need you to sign one document" is better as it is more official!
15 mins
  -> I hope you know russian good enough to see that the style of the source text IS NOT official - however I thank you for your comment

8.- Verb + object + infinitive

After some verbs we must use object + infinitive
I want you to be quiet
She didn\'t ask you to pay for the meal


Some common verbs that are used in this structure: advise, allow, ask, cause, hate, mean, prefer, wish, encourage, help, need, remind, want...

The doctor advised him to stay in bed
They encourage me to study hard
We need you to go

В ответ на реплику Александра:
В цитате из учебника (который он мне рекомендует почитать) написано (выделено мной):

\"After some verbs we MUST use object + infinitive\"?

Смысл слова \"must\", надеюсь, понятен?

А возможность существования двух (и трех, и четырех) разных конструкций я охотно допускаю. Только многие из них будут просто БЕЗГРАМОТНЫЕ, как в этом случае.

neutral  Alexander Onishko: ok , Юрий, в вашей ссылке написано что "we need you to do ..." - это правильно , но там же не говориться что "we need that you do" - это неправильно ? - вы что же не допускаете возможности существования двух различных грамматических конструкций ? :)

We need you to sign a document.


Explanation:
Я бы просто написала так:

May we come in? We need you to sign a document.

Раз "нужно", то можно обойтись и без "очень", особенно учитывая тот факт, что в английском это просто не звучит.

Please come, we want you to sign a paper (and it's quite urgent)


Explanation:
or "some papers"
and there is a lot of variants here...

NB: i believe in business if you need somebody to do something (and it's really a needy thing for you) - better don't be pushy and don't show that you're really in extreme need of it (otherwise it may cost you more :-))
