This act is important in keeping healthy business relationships going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do this to maintain good working relationships with the people we interact with. In other words, using formal language puts us in a &ldquo;safe zone&rdquo; in the business world.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since &ldquo;keep me in the loop&rdquo; could meanwhile be interpreted as neutrally casual, here are some more polite ways to express the same intent:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Please inform me about&hellip;in the future&hellip;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This expression is great because it is quite flexible. We can add phrases like &ldquo;any developments,&rdquo; &ldquo;any progress,&rdquo; or &ldquo;any changes&rdquo; within it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can apply this expression pattern particularly when we are dealing with someone we consider an authority figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear Kaia,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/thank-you-for-the-update-alternatives\/\"><b><i>Thank you for the update<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i>.

This can then be used for asking someone to provide updates respectfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you are also the one who needs to provide relevant updates, you can simply say or write <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/i-will-keep-you-posted-meaning\/\"><b>&ldquo;I will keep you posted&rdquo;<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your message receiver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dear Alvin,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for your preliminary investigation report.

necessarily work all the time. This is because, at some point, we eventually get closer to the people we work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When this happens, the use of polite language may also come off as borderline pretentious. This could also pose harm to already-established relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here are some casual alternatives to &ldquo;Keep me in the loop&rdquo; that you could also conveniently choose from:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Let&rsquo;s touch base&hellip;<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;To touch base&rdquo; with someone means &ldquo;to connect or reconnect&rdquo; with someone, mostly briefly, to discuss updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we can also say &ldquo;Let&rsquo;s touch base on x&hellip;&rdquo; if we want to say &ldquo;Keep me in the loop&rdquo; in a more casual manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-box-grey\">\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hi, Phoebe.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&rsquo;m just checking in on your tasks.
