structure and greeting
Ensure a clear structure by starting with a proper greeting, followed by an introduction, body paragraphs for each main point, and a clear conclusion or closing statement. For example, you could begin with 'Dear Manager', 'Dear Sir/Madam', or the specific name if known.
logical structure and coherence
To improve coherence, make sure each paragraph has a clear central idea. You could structure it as: 1) Introduction of the problem, 2) Description of the issue and expression of feelings, 3) Request for an explanation and a solution. This keeps the content organized and logically ordered.
use of linking words
Using linking phrases such as 'Furthermore', 'Moreover', and 'Consequently' can improve the flow of your arguments. They help in connecting ideas and paragraphs smoothly, enhancing the reader's understanding.
details and elaboration
Your task response is generally good as you cover the requirements: stating the problem, asking for an explanation, and requesting a solution. To enhance this, add more details about how the situation has affected you, increasing the urgency of your request.
formality and politeness
Maintain a polite and formal tone throughout the letter. Avoid expressions of anger or frustration. Instead, use polite requests and expressions of hope for a quick resolution. Phrases like 'I would appreciate it if...', 'I kindly request...' improve the tone.
