With reference to the email thread below

This phrase is correct and commonly used in business or formal email communication.

This phrase is used to refer to a specific email thread that is located below the current message in an email chain.

Examples:

  • With reference to the email thread below, I would like to clarify the action items discussed.
  • Please see the resolution in the email thread below for more details.

Alternatives:

  • with reference to the email thread
  • referring to the email thread below
  • in relation to the email thread below
  • regarding the email thread below
  • concerning the email thread below

With reference to email thread below

This phrase is correct but may sound slightly less natural compared to the first phrase.

This phrase is also used to refer to a specific email thread that is located below the current message in an email chain.

Examples:

  • With reference to email thread below, please find the updated document attached.
  • I have reviewed the information in email thread below.

Alternatives:

  • with reference to the email thread below
  • referring to the email thread below
  • in relation to the email thread below
  • regarding the email thread below
  • concerning the email thread below
Both phrases are correct, but the first one is more commonly used. The addition of 'the' before 'email thread' in the first phrase helps to specify which email thread is being referred to. The second phrase is also understandable but may sound slightly less natural.
