Learn English – What would be the right way (grammar) for a law firm to wish a client a happy birthday

grammar

Would you say…

Johnson & Johnson wish you a happy birthday

or

Johnson & Johnson wishes you a happy birthday

I don't believe these are complete sentences and have read that a company really should be more formal when trying to send a message because a company can't really wish as it is not a person.

Maybe something along the lines of…

All of us at Johnson & Johnson would like to wish you a happy birthday

I am just trying to find a short correct way of stating this.

Thanks

I think that any of these would be acceptable, but, as you say, a company is not a person, and so the last sentence sounds much more genuine.

I would go with 'All of us at Johnson & Johnson wish you a happy birthday.' Shorter, but still correct.

Hope that helps!
