Mr. Michael Christensen
Idaho Potato Commission
661 S. Rivershore Lane, Suite 230
Eagle, ID 83616
Dear Mr. Christensen:
Thank you for the opportunity to do business with the Idaho Potato
Commission. It has truly been a pleasure to work with you and your
company. Enclosed is a link to a digital introduction and physical copy of the
intercultural communication guide that you requested. We believe that, with
the help of this guide, you and your company will be quite successful.
Our research showed that Irish businesspeople are very relaxed and informal
compared to other European countries. Family is very important and they
tend to live near their relatives. They also have good humor. When
presenting ideas, be honest and direct, but dont present all of the
information until you are sure of their commitment to your company as they
may steal your ideas. When conducting business, they are slow to trust
foreigners, so building a strong relationship is critical. Negotiations may take
longer than you originally thought, but dont be discouraged. The guide
contains a much more comprehensive analysis and suggestion for Idaho
Potato Commission to successfully conduct business in Ireland. We have
every confidence that your company can and will use these suggestions to
better aid in your business activities.
We hope that you are successful in Ireland. Please let us know if there are
any additional materials that you require. So, Mr. Christensen, from all the
staff of Global Contexts, Inc., and from me, thank you again for this
opportunity. We look forward to hearing about your successful business
ventures in Ireland.
Sincerely,

Dale Spencer
