coherence cohesion
The letter lacks a clear logical structure and could benefit from more coherent paragraphing, with each paragraph focusing on a single idea more effectively.
coherence cohesion
Use clear topic sentences to introduce the subject of each paragraph, followed by supporting sentences that develop the idea fully before concluding or transitioning smoothly to the next point.
task achievement
While the task is generally achieved, the letter could provide more specific details about the situation, such as the date and time, what products were purchased, and the name of the employee if known. This would strengthen the response to the task.
task achievement
Maintain a suitable formal or semi-formal tone throughout the letter. Avoid using overly casual language or undefined pronouns which could make the letter seem informal.

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.
