Try this fictional sentence: Embassy A informs Ministry B that Delegation C will attend the meeting. Who is the sender, recipient and party mentioned?
A is the sender, B the recipient, and C the delegation mentioned, not the sender. Typing the note does not make someone its sender.
Now try: Embassy A informs Ministry B that Delegation C will send the participant list. Who has to send the list?
The answer is Delegation C, although A remains the sender of the note. Separate the document sender from the person or body performing an action in its text.
If a name is replaced by it or its and the reference is unclear, do not guess from the nearest name. Check the context or ask for the name to be made explicit.
