what is the difference?
What is the difference between あって and ありまして? They're both te forms but could they be used interchangeably?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! mike29 :)

"あって" is a casual word. 
"ありまして" is a more polite language.

For your information,  
“ございまして” is more polite than “ありまして”.

"あって"＜"ありまして"＜"ございまして"
