coherence cohesion
Ensure your letter is well-organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. You started strongly but mixing issues (such as the introduction of the problem and requests for action) in single paragraphs can muddle your main points.
coherence cohesion
Use paragraphs to separate different ideas or requests clearly. Each paragraph should discuss a specific aspect of the issue or a particular request. This makes your letter easier to follow and more effective at conveying your message.
task achievement
Fully address all parts of the task. You made an initial complaint, asked for an explanation of the delay, and requested a fast repair or a new product. However, expanding on the impact of the delay on you personally could enhance your response.
task achievement
While your tone is generally suitable for a formal letter, be careful with word choice to maintain formality throughout. Avoid colloquial expressions and ensure your language is polite but firm. For example, 'It is a matter of sorrow' could be rephrased to 'I am disappointed' for a more direct and formal expression of your feelings.
