The phrase: "Let us be sure we have considered everything carefully and have the appropriate resources" best uses formal language conventions.

  • "Let's" was replaced by "let us" to remove the contraction, which is a typical characteristic of common speech.
  • To "make sure" is also a verb which is used in every-day speech but is actually a derivative of to ensure. Replacing it by "be sure" is a way to make it more official.
  • "Organized" is a vague term, which you would replace by more precise phrases if you were being formal: it involves "consider[ing] everything carefully" and "hav[ing] the appropriate resources."
