Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that the letter is structured in clear paragraphs, each with a single central idea. Though this was largely achieved, transitions between thoughts could be smoother for optimal flow.
Task Achievement
The letter addresses all three components of the task, which is positive. However, considering the format, more personalized and less formal closure could be a better choice to demonstrate an understanding of the difference between a letter and an email.
