Coherence and Cohesion
The letter presents the referral case with basic information and structure but lacks formality and detail in some areas. To improve coherence and cohesion, ensure that the letter has a clear introductory sentence and more cohesive devices to connect ideas smoothly between sentences and paragraphs. Aim to present each piece of information in a planned and organized manner, which includes using paragraphs effectively to separate different ideas or pieces of information.
Task Achievement
The overall task is achieved, and the main points are covered. However, to enhance task response, ensure to include full patient details (e.g., age), specific guidance for the nurse's roles, and a more detailed treatment plan and follow-up. Additionally, ensure you address any privacy concerns by not disclosing sensitive patient information without consent.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
