Cultural Tip
In German business communication the formal ‘Sie’ is mandatory unless you are explicitly invited to use ‘du’. Therefore the possessive adjective is capitalised – ‘Ihre’. Also, attaching the contact data to an e‑mail is common practice, so you’ll often hear the response ‘Im Anhang’ (in the attachment).
