Its like letters or emails

"I write with reference to. Your sincerely. Further to our telephone conversation. "

wtf is that?
Because it is the norm that in a workplace you follow set procedures and parlance, the terms you use for emails and letters are easily understood formulaic sentences that are considered polite yet businesslike.

It saves someone waffling for a paragraph that the reason for a particular letter is to confirm the information given in a previous telephone call for example.
