Using should
Should may introduce conditions, but only in formal styles. The first extract comes from the business pages of the Times newspaper:
You also need to check transaction charges. Robert Fleming/Save Prosper pays 4.67 per cent on its corporate account with more than $5,000. Should there be a solicitor or an accountant among the guests, they may be persuaded to use their firm's Client account. (Bank of English)
while the second comes from the small print of a promotional leaflet:
All AIR MILES Points are subject to AIR MILES Travel Promotions Limited and National Westminster Bank's Terms and Conditions. Should you have any queries regarding this leaflet, please ring 0702 365 844 or write to us at: NatWest AIR MILES Southend-on-Sea, SS99 0YY.
