Dear Mike, I hope
this
letter finds you in radiant health and you are doing well. I am writing
this
letter to express my feelings about the
last
holiday
, I spent at your place
as well as
my
wallet
, which I left at your home. First and foremost, I would like to give you thanks for allowing me to spend a wonderful
holiday
at your house
last
week. The
overall
holiday
was memorable as after a long time, we spent quality time. During
this
holiday
, I experienced cultural diversity and delicious food.
In addition
, I would like to inform you that I left my
wallet
at your house, which I realized after coming home.
This
wallet
is in black and made with cowhide. Some important business cards
as well as
debit/credit are kept inside the
wallet
. I am requesting you to search
this
wallet
whether it's available at your house or not. If
this
wallet
is found at your home, please send me back to my permanent address i.e. Kamal Mansion, Akmol Ali Road, Chittagong. I will pay the courier service fee. You can directly reach me for any query by my contact number, 01797577699. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon regarding

coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph has a clear central idea and purpose. The paragraph about the wallet could be more concise.
task achievement
Maintain a consistent and suitable tone throughout the letter. The phrase 'radiant health' seems a bit too formal for a letter to a friend.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
