Kindly be informed (2024)

I always see a letter starting with phrase "kindly be informed that....."

Is there any words hiden in front of the phrase"knidly be informed that..."
Because I cannot read it as a complete sentence.What is the real and complete sentence?

"Be informed" is the passive imperative. There is no "real and complete sentence".

You might say, "I would be grateful if you understand that ... as this will mean that you have been informed by me of that fact." However, this is not exactly the same.

A 'real and complete sentence' would be, for example:

Kindly be informed that we will be carrying out maintenance work along your road on 12.1.17. (Please do not leave your car parked in the road between 9am and 4 pm).

This is a warning notice. Sometimes Kindly be informed is used solely to relay information.

That said, I find it very old-fashioned.

It's a very formal way of starting off a piece of advice or information, which is used in official letters and the like. I wouldn't recommend that you try and use it.

I really, really, REALLY doubt that you 'always see a letter starting with phrase "kindly be informed that....." (as you claimed in the OP)
