1.relating to 或related to都是“与……有关”.用relating to更强调information的主体性.其实这里用related to也未尝不可,不过用了related to则强调‘Humber Petroleum’的主体地位了.
2.which you will find helpful是定语从句,which指代the information.将这个定语从句还原成独立的句子就是：
YOu will find the information helpful.
这时你会发现,the information是宾语,helpful是宾语补足语.

1. 用related to也可以，relate to sb/sth或者be related to sb/sth都对。

1. 用related to也可以，relate to sb/sth或者be related to sb/sth都对。
若用relating to...相当于一个定语从句： Attached to this brief is some background information that relates to ‘Humber Petroleum’ which you will find helpful.
若用related to，也相当于一个定语从句：Attached to this brief is some background information that is related to ‘Humber Petroleum’ which you will find helpful.
因为后面已经有一个定语从句了，这里用分词结构使句子更简练些。
2. helpful不是用来修饰动词find的，应该是find + 宾语+ 宾补，这里宾语是关系词which，helpful是形容词做宾补。

收起

主语与relate to 后面的宾语是主动关系，用relating；若是被动关系，则用related。
helpful不是修饰find的，这是一个定语从句，应该理解为you will find “Humber Petroleum” helpful。
