task response
To enhance the task response, try to provide more detail about the purchase, such as the date of purchase and the exact nature of the fault. Additionally, offering a specific request, whether it be a refund or exchange, can clarify your intention to the reader.
coherence and cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, consider linking ideas and paragraphs more smoothly. Use cohesive devices like 'Moreover', 'Furthermore', or 'In addition' to connect sentences. A brief introduction to your situation before jumping into the issue can ensure a logical flow of ideas.
tone
In terms of tone, the letter is mostly appropriate for the context but could be improved by being more formal. Avoid abbreviations ('I got to know') and use full forms ('I became aware'). Additionally, ensure consistency in the sign-off; instead of 'Your's faithful', 'Yours faithfully' is the correct form.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
