Dear Mr. Asadi, I am your tenant at apartment no.22 on 23rd Street and I am writing
this
 letter to inform you of some issues that still exist in the flat. One major problem is the leakage of water from the sink in the kitchen. Despite the fact that you installed it recently and it should have been waterproof, it leaks significantly and I am concerned that it may cause great damage to the floor.
In addition
 to that, the air conditioning system produces an unusual sound
while
 working for long hours. The sink that you have bought recently, seems to have no guarantee or contact information for support but I suppose the problem is more related to the pipes that are connected to it. Maybe we should change them if it is necessary. The problem with the air conditioner, though, is something that I believe is related to its engine and needs someone professional to check. So, I believe it will be good if you can take a visit yourself, as soon as possible, in order to prevent any
further
 damage to the apartment. After that, we can find someone who can fix the sink and discuss the charges in detail together. With regard to the air conditioner,
however
, I assume that I know someone who can help us. I will arrange for him to come
at the end
 of
this
 week. I would really appreciate it if you
put
Verb problem

 these issues your priority. I am looking forward to the problems being solved. Sincerely, Arash Abbasi

coherence cohesion

task achievement
While you provided a clear explanation of the problems and suggested some solutions, it is beneficial to provide more specific examples or suggestions on how the landlord can fix the issues.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
