Is this grammatically correct?

Hi "Christina"

following the information that you required to me:

Name
Addrress
etc...

There are a few mistakes and inclarities in your text.

1) Why the quotation marks? Is "Christina" her code name?
   If it is her real first name, I can see no reason why you would
want to put it in inverted commas.

2) What do you mean by "following"? Either you are trying
    to say "following (and in reply to) your question...",
    or "what follows (below) is the information you requested".

I suggest writing something like this:

In reply to your question, here is the information
you requested of me:

Name
Address...

But perhaps a simple version will do:

Here is the information you asked for:

Name
Address...

Hope this helps,
Leszek.

THANK YOU !

the commas are only because Christina is a fantasy name, I'll write to her
without commas.

> Here is the information you asked for:
This is the best...smart and easy

THANK YOU A LOT !!!
