Italian term or phrase: si prega codesto ufficio di voler qui comunicare a X
I am confused about subject and object here.

This comes at the beginning of a sort of report/letter which describes how the Carabinieri have recovered stolen electrical goods. The context reads:

"in relazione a quanto sopra esposto si prega codesto ufficio di voler qui comunicare a quali fornitori sono stati ceduti i telefoni di cui all'allegato elenco."
