Performance appraisal
This phrase appears at the beginning of a memorandum:
"Obrigada pela comunicacao estreita com nossa equipe sobre ..." [about a contract that is not being renewed]
Any idea what the author means by "estreita" in this context?
Thank you!

Reply to Muriel.
Your source text refers to "comunicação estreita com nossa equipa". "Com nossa equipa" seems to refer to a relationship rather than a specific communication, as Phil suggests. Otherwise, the preposition would be a/à.

Note from asker:
| But the sentence appears to be referring to a particular communication, like a letter or a memorandum, not communication in the broad sense of the term. |
| I see it now: more like 'maintaining close communication' in general. |

straightforward communication
I am wondering if, in this case, the translation could be "straightforward communication" since the contract won't be renewed.

Thank you for letting us know about ...
Creio que o sentido dessa frase é apenas o de reconhecer o recebimento de alguma informação sobre algum fato ou evento. Então, nesse sentido não precisamos ser literais, dizendo a mesma coisa de outras maneiras.

thanks for staying in close contact with our team
I think the more usual term in American English would be "close CONTACT".

You're welcome. Misinterpreting a sentence once in a great while is certainly understandable, in the case of those whose translation services seem to be constantly in demand, like yours seem to be.

| Thank you, Barbara. I like your answer. It will be hard to choose because Mark was the one who got me on the right track. I was misinterpreting the sentence. |
