hope you will do the needful

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to express the expectation for someone to take necessary action.

This phrase is often used in professional or formal communication to politely request someone to take the required action.

Examples:

  • Please review the document and let me know if you can do the needful.
  • Kindly do the needful and send the report by the end of the day.

Alternatives:

  • Please take the necessary action.
  • I trust you will handle this appropriately.
  • Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated.
  • Your cooperation in this regard is highly valued.
  • Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

i hope you will do the necassery

This phrase contains a spelling error ('necassery' should be 'necessary') and is less commonly used in English.


Alternatives:

  • I hope you will do the necessary.
  • Please take the required action.
  • Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
  • Your assistance in this regard is highly valued.
  • Kindly do what is needed.
Both phrases are attempting to convey the idea of expecting someone to take necessary action. However, the first phrase 'hope you will do the needful' is a more common and concise way to express this sentiment. The second phrase 'I hope you will do the necessary' is grammatically correct but less commonly used in this context.
