SUBJECT:      Factors Affecting Choice of Stylistic Features and Use of Discourse Conventions

The business letter that will be created contains certain stylistic features that will be influenced by the letter’s target audience, which comprises the Director of the Professional Writing Program, Bruce Erikson. Foremost, it is important to consider the use of formal and precise language. Since the letter is a summary of analysis for another possible business destination, the language that will be primarily used will be official. Another stylistic feature influenced by the nature of the target audience involves the overall structural format. Due to the formality of the business letter, the format will be based on conventional letters, which normally possesses aspects such as an official close followed consequently by the name of the sender or other forms of information for identification purposes. The influence of the target audience on the letter’s stylistic features will be evidenced further by the incorporation of less personalized and rigid content. Accordingly, the key objective of the letter involves the dissemination of information surrounding Argentina’s analysis to the Director of the Professional Writing Program. In this respect, a less personalized and inflexible letter may capture the respective information and ensure effective delivery towards the targeted recipient. Lastly, another stylistic feature may comprise the presence of worded content that adheres sternly to formal linguistic conventions. The format that will be incorporated within the respective business letter will be significantly formal due to the disposition of the target audience. In this respect, discourse conventions that usually apply during the use of formal language will be applied significantly in the content within the letter in question.

Mr. Erikson,

MCG is contented with your decision towards the assessment of the state of Argentina as a possible business destination. The firm has taken effective strides to ensure that the information disseminated provides with the ability to make rational decisions regarding doing business in the respective country.

Officially recognized as the Argentine Republic, the state of Argentina is a federal country based within the southeast region of South America. Unlike numerous countries within Latin America, the Argentine Republic has been categorized as a high-income economy. This is largely due to its rapidly developing high-tech segment, political and economic stability, and significant market size. Such prospects position the respective country as an appealing business destination. Apart from this, the values that the people embody set Argentina as an attractive business destination. Accordingly, the culture of the Argentine citizens is characterized by a mixture of European and American ideals. The respective culture is largely comprised of Spanish, Italian, and other migrant ones such as British, Irish, French, and German traditions. In addition to this, Native American traditions significantly comprise the Argentine culture. The inclusive nature of the general Argentine culture establishes a platform that permits foreign direct investments from investors across all cultures irrespective of their original destinations.

The inclusive nature of the Argentine culture further appeals to plausible business interests due to its implications on other influential factors such as language, religion, and ethnicity. Due to the immigration of numerous races across the globe, the Argentine Republic provides a diverse background that allows investors from numerous international countries to invest within the state’s various economic sectors. Additionally, the freedom accorded to people concerning the practice of religion contributes to the existing political and social instability that is present within the Argentine Republic. Even though majority of the Argentines practice Roman Catholicism, it is legally possible to practice any religion accepted under the state’s laws without fear of discrimination from the Catholic majority. However, it is imperative to consider the long-term effects of the 2002 Argentine Financial crisis as a potentially influential factor in decision-making since the respective occurrence affected different sectors of the state’s economy on a considerable level.
