This one is not sure, but maybe the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_we"]royal we[/URL] also needs "Here are LaurV."

On the other this could be what Grammar Girl calls the "[URL="http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/the-royal-we?page=all"]urban we[/URL]."

We like tassels and ribbons :ross:

No royal we here!
"Hello math people, here is a cow"
"Here is LaurV [from math people], how can we [math people] help you?"

When I answer to the phone I say, "<my name> from <my company>, how can we [my company, which the caller dialed] help you?"

or when the Lone Ranger says: "It looks like we are surrounded."

"Houston, there may be a snake in this space suit..." "Your call is very important to us. Please hold." Movie tie-in: Snakes in a space suit; no one can hear us squeam." :ross: :snake1:
