Task Achievement
Ensure clarity in your explanation by stating the item borrowed precisely and describing the situation leading to its damage. Your current letter mentions borrowing money, which doesn't align with the task of explaining a borrowed item getting damaged.
Coherence and Cohesion
For a higher score in Coherence and Cohesion, it's important to logically organize your paragraphs. The first paragraph should purely focus on an apology and acknowledging the damage. The second paragraph should explain the circumstances of the damage. Lastly, the third paragraph should detail the plan to resolve the issue or reimburse your friend.
Coherence and Cohesion
Work on transitioning smoothly between ideas within paragraphs and using a variety of cohesive devices beyond 'however' and 'but.' Also, each paragraph should ideally support a single main idea to enhance the reader's understanding.
Task Achievement
Adopt a more formal and sincere tone when addressing the situation, particularly since you are apologizing and making a commitment to resolve a mistake. The closing phrase 'Your faithfully' is typically used with 'Yours,' so it should be 'Yours faithfully'.
The Closing
The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.
Check out the suggested closing sentences for each type of letter in the General IELTS Test. The closing sentence should be the last sentence of your letter.
