Obrigado a todos!

No texto original estava "jum", claro que sabia que era um erro ortográfico, no entanto, quando copiei para a pergunta no ProZ, esqueci-me de corrigir!

Uma vez mais obrigada.

Cumprimentos a todos,

Susana

Explanation:
This sentence contains all the letters in English (jump not jum). You should find a similar sentence in Portuguese that contains all the letters. This is evidently a test to make all the letters are printed properly
