✕Common Mistakes

  • Obrigado desde já por considerar.

    If the speaker is female, the correct form is "obrigada"; using the masculine form can sound odd.

  • Obrigado(a) desde ja por considerar.

    The word "já" requires an acute accent; without it the phrase is misspelled.

  • Obrigado(a) desde já considerar.

    The preposition "por" must be followed by the infinitive; omitting "por" changes the meaning.

↔Alternatives

  • Agradeço antecipadamente pela sua consideração.

    I appreciate your consideration in advance.

  • Desde já, agradeço por analisar a minha proposta.

    Already now, I thank you for reviewing my proposal.

  • Muito obrigado(a) por considerar o meu pedido.

    Thank you very much for considering my request.

Cultural Tip

In Brazilian and European Portuguese business etiquette, thanking someone in advance is courteous, but it should not replace a genuine thank‑you after the person has acted. Also, always match the gender of "obrigado/obrigada" with your own gender, not the gender of the person you are addressing.
