Here's why:
* Redundancy: "As per" means "according to" or "in accordance with." It's often unnecessary to include both.
* Awkwardness: Starting a sentence with "As per" can sound awkward and unnatural.
Instead of "As per," use more natural and precise language:
* Instead of: As per the instructions, please...
* Use: According to the instructions, please...
* Instead of: As per our agreement...
* Use: According to our agreement...
* Instead of: As per your request...
* Use: As you requested...
Exceptions:
There are a few situations where "as per" might be acceptable, usually in very specific contexts like:
* Legal Documents: In some legal contexts, "as per" might be the preferred phrasing.
* Technical Writing: In technical documents, "as per" might be used to refer to specific standards or specifications.
In most cases, it's best to avoid using "as per" and opt for more natural and professional language.
