Number 2 is the correct version - it effectively means 'Thank you for your willingness to understand', which has a different feel to no.3.  SignatureDanny Collman, Birmingham,UK > Y. M.

Thank you for understanding. Mistyping "you" for "your" seems to be quite a common typo, something to do with the placing of the keys. Maybe the enquirer has seen something where this typing mistake has been made and not realised it's just a mistake. Matthew Huntbach |
