Hi

I am writing a letter and struggling to construct the sentence. My question is: do I need to replace 'who' with 'whom'?

"The response column refers to patients who have contacted us as a result of our correspondence and have arranged an appointment."

Is 'correspondence' okay to write when referring to just one letter, as oppose to multiple letters?

Many thanks
 
I do not understand the sentence.
What is response column?
How does it 'refer to patients'?
Who have arranged an appointment?
 
I assume you are referring to a spreadsheet or database of some sort?
It's perfectly understandable. Your organization sent out a letter and some of the person who received it contacted your organization to make an appointment as a result. This column tracks the people who are responded in such a manner.

Correspondence is fine for one letter.
 
Would the response column shows patients who have contacted us... work better?
 
Would the response column shows patients who have contacted us... work better?

To me, that is the best solution here.
