Ladies and Gentlemen,

Is this sentence below grammatically correct ? I mean the word "convinced" follows the word " depart" correct , If not what should the sentence be correctly changed to ? Thank you.

"I depart convinced that today's U.N. does more than ever before, and does it better than ever before. Yet our work is far from complete — indeed, it never will be," Annan said.

If it is this part that's under consideration:
"I depart convinced that today's U.N. does more than ever before...

It might be clearer if it were changed to this:

"I depart the U.N. convinced that it does more than ever before...


That's just a matter of this reader's preference, technically the version you posted is not incorrect, merely awkward.

Thank you Les . I feel better now

I wonder if there ever was confusion between "You're Kofi" and "Your coffee"

Apparently, Yes:

It's really a matter of correct punctuation. Insert a comma after "depart" and the sentence is grammatically correct. "I depart, convinced that today's UN...." is technically fine.
