Italian term

si prega codesto ufficio di voler qui comunicare a X

Italian to English Law/Patents General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Letter regarding stolen goods investigation
I am confused about subject and object here.

This comes at the beginning of a sort of report/letter which describes how the Carabinieri have recovered stolen electrical goods. The context reads:

"in relazione a quanto sopra esposto si prega codesto ufficio di voler qui comunicare a quali fornitori sono stati ceduti i telefoni di cui all'allegato elenco."

@gallagy2 Thank you! I have done now :-)

@ LINDA. you should post your wording as an answer and you have my "agree"
Linda Thody Apr 24, 2013:
Lara, as per Dandamesh's explanation: it literally means "your office is kindly requested to hereby inform us ..." presumably there is form they have to fill in in answer!
Lara Barnett (asker) Apr 23, 2013:
@ Writeaway This is a letter from the Public Prosecutor. It is regarding a criminal investigation and is not related to a business or financial issue.

• Tuttora vivo nell'ambito linguistico toscano, codesto è altrove d'uso lett. o antiq. e viene comunemente sostituito da quello o, meno spesso, da questo (a volte rafforzato da tuo o vostro); è però ancora normale nel l. burocr., dove si riferisce all'ufficio, alla ditta ecc. a cui ci si rivolge
