I would have said "...report, please <em>include..." as opposed to 
"...you must remember to..."

...but I like this part. :-)
Spell checker: s/permantently/permanently/

Again, I would shorten this to "In addition, PCYMTNQREAIYR, as we..." 
(but with the link, of course), or alternatively you might consider 
spelling out the acronym (leaving the link on the whole phrase), or 
spell it out and provide the acronym (with link) in parentheses after.
