task achievement
The letter does not address the task requirements appropriately. It should communicate dissatisfaction to a company regarding a defective laptop and request action, instead of offering the laptop for sale to a friend.
task achievement
Maintain a professional tone suitable for correspondence with a company. The tone in this letter is casual and more fitting for an informal conversation.
coherence cohesion
Ensure that the letter has a clear structure with an appropriate opening and closing. While the greeting and sign-off are suitable, the body of the letter lacks a coherent flow and does not follow the provided instructions.
coherence cohesion
Include distinct paragraphs for each point mentioned in the task: introduction, explanation of the situation, and the desired action from the company. This letter mixes different ideas in the paragraphs.

The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.
