Tone Consistency
Try to maintain a consistent tone throughout your letter. The tone shifts slightly in the third paragraph, which could be made more consistent with the overall grateful and friendly tone.
Transitional Phrasing
For better coherence, ensure each paragraph transitions smoothly into the next. This can be improved by linking ideas more clearly and using transitional phrases.
Concision
Repetition of certain phrases (e.g., trust and appreciation for your friend's actions) could be reduced to make the letter more concise and impactful.
Specificity in Details
Including more specific details about how the favour helped you would provide a stronger task response and make your gratitude more personal and meaningful.
Task Achievement
Your letter successfully expresses gratitude and outlines the favour done, meeting the task's requirements.
Writing Tone
The friendly and appreciative tone is suitable for a letter of thanks, which is a strong aspect of this letter.
