coherence cohesion
The logical structure of the letter could be improved by better organizing the information into separate paragraphs for the introduction, body (which should be split into multiple paragraphs for each point), and conclusion. Aim to organize your thoughts more clearly.
coherence cohesion
Ensure you include a formal greeting at the start and a suitable closing at the end of your letter. "Dear Sir," is too informal and abrupt for this context; "Dear Sir or Madam," would be more appropriate.
coherence cohesion
Each paragraph should focus on a single idea. For example, separate the description of the car from the details regarding the rental period, and further provide a separate paragraph for your requests and questions to the agency.
task achievement
While you addressed all parts of the prompt, your response could be more focused and detailed, specifically regarding the type of car and the cost details. Avoid including irrelevant information such as your personal color preference, which does not pertain to the primary objectives of the letter.
task achievement
The letter's tone is not entirely suitable for formal correspondence with a service provider. Avoid informal language and maintain a consistent level of formality throughout. Furthermore, ensure your requests are polite and clear, avoiding statements that may come across as demands.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
