Concerning a specific topic or subject.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The Dutch value 'zakelijkheid'. Using this phrase shows you are serious and respect the time of the recipient. In Dutch universities, this is the standard way to introduce a research focus in a thesis. Official letters from the 'Belastingdienst' (Tax Office) almost always use this to specify the topic of the letter. Lawyers use this to avoid any ambiguity about which contract or clause they are referring to.

Don't overdo it
Using this in every sentence makes you sound like a legal document. Mix it up with 'wat betreft'.
