~をもちまして
~o mochimashite
with this (formal, business closing)
When to use it
Reach for ~をもちまして in formal announcements, ceremonial speech, and business correspondence to mark the point at which something takes effect or comes to an end — closing a meeting, announcing a store closure, an end of service, a retirement date. It is the polite (~まして) form of ~をもって, so it belongs to spoken announcements and written notices addressed to customers or shareholders, never to casual conversation. Because it signals ceremony, it almost always pairs with humble verbs like 終了いたします・閉店いたします・させていただきます.

Examples
With this, I hereby close the third board meeting.
That concludes my report on the first-half financial results.
As of today, our company is withdrawing from the mail-order business.
I will be leaving the company as of the end of next month.
We will inform you of the details in writing in due course.
