Task Achievement
To improve your Task Achievement, ensure that your letter addresses all parts of the prompt in a clear and detailed manner. Although you've addressed the main concerns, including more details about the coat's appearance and more suggestions for getting your belongings back could enhance your response.
Coherence and Cohesion
For Coherence and Cohesion, work on structuring your ideas more logically. Although your paragraphs generally focus on a single idea, the connection between them can be strengthened. Consider using more linking words and phrases to enhance the flow of information from one paragraph to the next.
Tone
While you've included a suitable greeting and closing, maintaining a consistent and appropriate tone throughout the letter will elevate your writing. Be mindful of formalities when required, but also feel comfortable using a friendly tone in informal letters to a friend.
