These sentences are wordy. How can you phrase them more concisely?
I am writing to you to request...
At this time, our company would like to take this opportunity to thank you for Wydade’s reliable support in offering most of Broadworth’s training needs for the past 20 years.
In addition, all these sentences are way out of order. Please put them in a logical order -- and combine/rephrase to get rid of wordiness.

I am writing to request a trainer for our seminar on sexual harassment and unlawful discrimination in the workplace for twenty of our office supervisors. Our company would like to take this opportunity to thank you for Wydade’s reliable support in offering most of Broadworth’s training needs for the past 20 years.
We would like the seminar to be held on July 20, 2012, at 9 am. The seminar is to be two hours long with a 15-minute break during which refreshments will be available. It will be held in our conference room on the second floor in room 200. The topics we need covered are ways to report, cope with and prevent such harassment. At your earliest convenience could you please send me a list of resources the trainer may need? We would also need to know what our supervisors should bring with them.

Reverse sentences 1 and 2.
Those two sentences are still too wordy.
The rest is OK.
How does this sound?
