We are writing to formalize/make official


Explanation:
As this is a business letter, the formula "we are writing to..." makes a better opening in correspondence than "We hereby..." which has the tone of a proclamation or decree, in my mind. I assume these are the opening words of the correspondence. The other answers are grammatically correct; it's a matter of style and register.

Trivia note: Google Search shows that this is the expression Pres. Obama used in writing a letter to his church, in which he "formalized" his decision to no longer be a member.
