This is in a professional email.

I'm quoting from a business document that was sent to the person that I'm writing the email to. I need to clarify something, and to do so I need to quote from a section in the document. The document and the section have names.

Is it okay to put it like this?

> In (the name of the document)'s (the name of the section) it is said, "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX."

I looked for examples but I can't find any that's worded the same. Or, is there a better way to write this?
