structure
The letter needs to have a clearer structure with distinct paragraphs for introducing the situation, explaining how the loss occurred, and stating what action you would like the insurance company to take. Consider starting with an introduction, then a paragraph for each of the points listed in the task, followed by a concluding paragraph.
clarity
Ensure the letter is addressed to the relevant party. The mention of the phone being lost in the store appears to contradict the recipient of the letter (the insurance company). Clarity on the recipient and the context is crucial for a coherent response.
details
The letter lacks specific details about the item lost, such as the make and model of the phone, and the circumstances under which it was lost (more specific details about the loss). Providing such details would enhance the task response.
formality
The closing of the letter is appropriately respectful, but make sure to include a proper greeting at the beginning and a sign-off that matches the formality of the letter. Additionally, ensure the overall tone remains polite and formal throughout the letter.

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.

Formal style (To someone you have not met, whose name you don’t know)

  • Yours faithfully,

Semi-formal (To someone you may or may not have met, whose last name you know)

  • Yours sincerely,

Informal (To someone you know well, whose first name you know and use)

  • Best regards,
  • Warm wishes,
