This odd wording appears in British passports:
"Her Brittanic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires
in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow
the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford
the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary."
If it's not too late you could work something like this into the intro:
"Her Brittanic Majesty's Secretary of Documentation requests and
requires in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern
to take part in a Transportees versus Rest of the Empire polo
match..."
> I'm seeking approval from those involved...
You're a) having a polo match at work, and b) you have to seek approval
for the wording of the invitation? Can I assume you're working for a
government department, Deb?
