"this is to inform you that" vs "this is to inform that"

"This is to inform you that" is the correct usage; "this is to inform that" is missing the necessary direct object.

Last Updated: March 06, 2019

This is a professional way to give someone some information. The phrase is often used in written communication.

this is to inform that

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

In this phrase, it is unclear who is being informed. The verb "inform" is transitive and needs a direct object.
