Sometimes we have to
write that business email or business letter in Portuguese and it turns very
difficult because we do not know the correct expressions.
Today's post is a
short list of useful phrases you may need when writing a business email or
business letter. A business letter requires a more advanced Portuguese and is
also necessary that the verbs used are not the Simple Present or Past Tense but
other Tenses, to write the formal writing. This post on useful expressions
(making the request, get information, and if complain) will be the first of many
lists of useful expressions for business letters.
