Ask for help

Dear colleagues,

Could you proofread the following sentences?

moment I’ll give you a call the moment I have any more news.

mind Would you mind to have a look at it?

mind Would you mind me sitting here.

you Would you mind passing me the water?

too He had too much pride to accept an apology.

apologize I’d like to apologize for not remembering your birthday.

Can there be more than one solution for each sentence?

Thank you so much in advance

I �d say these are all okay except the 2nd - Would you mind having a look at it? ( �Would you mind � can be followed by a gerund, but not an infinitive).

I agree with Lulu. I will add that the third one could also be "Would you mind my sitting here?". That is actually the "official" grammatical way to say it, but it isn �t very common these days.
