| all to whom these presents shall come, greetings | настоящим доводим до вашего сведения (It is a very formal (or dated) version of "to whom it may concern". You write it in particular on letters patent, such as royal, presidential, diplomatic proclamations. Because these are not sent to a named recipient, but open letters intended to proclaim or attest of something, and thus be presented to the public at large. As you noted, they are also used in diplomas and academic degrees. (см. tinyurl.com/ngyrz2t) 4uzhoj) |
