So, often time I proofread the messages my mother has to send if she is talking to a higher up.
Quite often, she cannot form a proper formal sentence, so she tells me what she wants to say and I use my marvelous penmanship to make it look more formal.
However, today she said something to me that I honestly don't know how to type in proper formal English.
So I was wondering what the correct answer was.
Here is basically what she said:
So, the line where I struggled was the 'you can either accept this, or reject this, but we are taking this matter to the boss ma'am nevertheless.'
I can't figure out how to convey this line without it feeling threatening. Like...how do I say that your acceptance or rejection wouldn't stop me from taking this to the higher ups while also sounding...not like I am trying to plot against you?

So dude, I have a proposal. Now, you are free to either agree, or disagree with this, no pressure. I am not pressuring you to either accept this or reject this. This is completely your free choice. If you choose to accept it, we can take this proposal to ma'am. If you decide to reject the proposal, which is completely fine; I think we should still take this matter to ma'am. I want to tell you that your opinion matters and I encourage you to give your views about your decision about this proposal. The ma'am then may accept this proposal, or reject this, which is completely fine and I will bear no ill will against her.
