You want to rent out a small apartment to a family, and you have decided to advertise it. Write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper asking to advertise your ad on the front page of the newspaper. In your letter, •give details of the ad that you want to publish •mention that you want the ad to be published on the front page •say how you would like to pay for the advertisement
Dear Editor,
I hope you are doing great. I am writing
this
letter to advertise my apartment in your newspaper which is available for rent from next month. Although
the area is not quite big it is suitable for a small family or a couple.
Firstly
, the property is available close to the city centre and all amenities are very near. It is close to the bus stop whereas
parking is included in the rent. Secondly
, it has two rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and a beautiful balcony where you can enjoy the view of the city. In addition
, the advert will be published on the first page so that more readers can read it. As you know, otherwise
adverts on the middle and the last
page are ignored by most of the people.
Moreover
, I already paid for the advertisement online with my credit card and enclosed a receipt with this
letter. Please, publish my ad for renting the apartment this
Saturday. So, I can rent it from the start of January. I am very thankful to you for publishing the advert in the newspaper.
Yours Sincerely,
LoveSubmitted by tajinder.panag on

Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that the logical structure of the letter follows a clear pattern, with each paragraph focusing on a particular aspect of the request. Consider using transitional phrases to enhance the flow between paragraphs.
Coherence & Cohesion
The greeting in your letter should directly address the editor using a conventional title such as 'Mr.', 'Mrs.', 'Ms.', or 'Dr.', if known. The closing could be improved by using a more formal sign-off such as 'Yours faithfully' when the recipient's name is not known, which is more appropriate for formal correspondence.
Coherence & Cohesion
Each paragraph should maintain a separate idea clearly and concisely without overlap between paragraphs. This has been adequately done in your letter, maintaining a good focus in each section.
Task Achievement
You did a good job in addressing all parts of the task with sufficient detail. However, clarify if you would prefer a particular date for the ad to be published or any other specific instructions for the advertisement.
Task Achievement
Maintain a formal tone consistently throughout your letter. Avoid using colloquial expressions such as 'doing great' and informal sign-offs such as 'Love'. Instead, opt for a neutral or formal tone that matches the serious nature of your request.
