Can I say according to your request instead of pursuant to your request..
I feel like pursuant and according is a bit different.
But I can't find the difference form gooles.
And no dictionary says they synanym...
Some examples definitely look like I can switch the two.

but still I don't feel like I want to say 'according to your request, we have changed~..


Help me, please.
You are the best.

Hi YHJ,

Often in business or formal correspondence, we say "per your request."
Per your request, we are sending 30 replacement parts by the end of this week.

"According to your request" might be used in a rebuttal.
But, according to your request, your representive had ordered parts with silver trims, not gold trims.

"Persuant to your request" sounds a bit legal.
Pursuant to the agreement and your request, we had supplied the proper parts.
