Written communication means expressing yourself clearly, using language precisely, constructing a logical argument, taking notes, editing and summarizing, and writing reports. (Spears, R.A. (2001). When doing business with a foreign country like Brazil, you also need to take into account the political history, religion and culture of your audience's country. There are three things that will help you communicate with partners you may have in Brazil or any other foreign country The first is the structure, the way the content is structured knows the purpose it wants to convey, has researched the target audience about the country of Brazil is an important question when identifying key points, facts and themes Although many of our fellow citizens still confuse Brazil with Spanish America, Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking nation in the Western Hemisphere (Meade, T.A. (2003 ) Brazilian Portuguese is a passionate and romantic language, where the focus is on expressing yourself rather than following tons of grammatical rules. Research the written words, advertising logos and body gestures you use in your native country. After structuring your research into what words are acceptable written, spoken or advertised in Brazil, compose a strong introduction. Keep the message simple and avoid jargon. Brazilian partners may lose focus on the message you are trying to convey. Use concrete, topic-specific words. Short paragraphs and sentences instead of long, rambling ones keep the idea or purpose in the room. This structured flyer should be provided in both Portuguese and English. This will allow all your readers to quickly scan the middle of the paper and be able to do so once completed. The content will be structured with bullet points in the appropriate necessary areas. The content would consist of short, concrete, familiar words rather than long, obscure, complex words. The words in context should be words with warmth, sensitivity and friendliness. Writing is one of the most common tasks you will find yourself doing when communicating with companies abroad in a normal working day. Just as important as the content of business writing is tone: the writer's opinion and emotion about the reader and the subject. Just like the tone of voice in a spoken conversation, the tone of a written conversation is just as important as the actual content. Many countries come from different cultures, religions and political backgrounds. A good foreign business must have a refined structure, style and good content.
