Essays / Business English Essay: strong written communication skills equal to verbal skills? [3]

In a business setting, do you feel that strong written communication skills are eqully as important as verbal?

This is an opinion question,mostly. I'm writing a paper for my business English class. I've always been more of a fiction writer, so I find myself a bit confused on the seemingly plainness of business writing.

Also, I can't seem to find a specific set up for an additional information page. I assumed it's set up would be similar to a "Note" page, but alas, I cannot seem to find anything.

Any information and opinions are helpful. Thank you in advance.
