In my final moments here, I'd like to thank all 112,000 employees, all
over the world, for making my time as CEO one that I will *never,
ever,* forget.

Is the use of *never, ever,* hereinabove correct?

Yes. The word "ever" strengthens the word "never"

It's fine, unlike 'hereinabove'.

What is the problem with 'hereinabove'? I do see such a word at
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hereinabove

It's very old-fashioned - probably last commonly used in everyday speech
during the 17th century - and is now only used in legal documents.

* I would like to buy one but do you give any rebate to students?

Is the above grammatical correct? I am concerned about *do you give
any rebate to students?*.

any rebate to students?*.
Grammatically it's fine, but the more usual word would be "discount" not
rebate. "... do you give a student discount" sounds more idiomatic.
Slightly more formal would be "grant" instead of "give".

* Dear Mr President,

How to address Mr President if President is a lady? I don't think it
would be appropriate to address her as Ms President or Mrs President.

I believe that the proper form of address is "Madam President".

Thanx. It didn't struck me. Now it is clear.
