＊The polite form に関しまして can appear in formal speech.

Ｎ1 + に関する + Ｎ2
|Note: As previously stated above, though this is interchangeable with について, there is a particular feeling and depth of conversational topics that に関して is used for. This is usually reserved for serious discussion topics, assignments, or "grown-up" levels of discussion, where as について has a more general usage. |

In the above sentences, the first one would be seen as a more proper usage of に関して given the overall tone and "adult-ness" of the conversation. In contrast, the second sentence would benefit more from について as the depth of topics simply don't match well with the tone usually associated with に関して.
