Dear Sir or Madam,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I recently had the pleasure of attending a meeting at your hotel, and while
I appreciate the overall
experience, I would like to bring to your attention a concern that I encountered upon my return home.
Unfortunately, it appears that some important documents
I left behind at the meeting venue have gone missing. These documents
are crucial for ongoing projects and contain valuable information essential to our business operations.
I understand that mistakes can happen, and I am reaching out to kindly request your assistance in locating these documents
. The files are contained in a paper and I believe they may have been left. The annals hold significant importance for our company, and their safe return would be greatly appreciated.
To expedite the process, I suggest checking the lost and found department or any designated areas where items left behind during events are typically stored. Additionally
, if the cleaning staff has come across any items in the mentioned room, it would be immensely helpful to inquire with them.
I value the services provided by your hotel and trust that this
matter can be resolved promptly. I appreciate your attention to this
issue and your assistance in locating the missing documents
. If there is any further
information or action required on my part, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Yours faithfully,

Task Response
To further improve your task response, make sure you clearly state all necessary details of your situation, including the specific date and name of the event, and perhaps a more detailed description of the papers to help in their recognition and recovery.
Coherence and Cohesion
For better coherence and cohesion, consider using more varied linking words and phrases to smoothly transition between ideas and paragraphs. This will help the reader follow your argument more easily.
Task Response
To enhance the letter's effectiveness, you might consider including contact information to facilitate immediate action from the hotel manager. Adding your phone number or email could encourage a quicker response.
Coherence and Cohesion
Continue practicing a wide range of sentence structures and vocabulary related to formal letter writing. This will not only improve your fluency and expression but also make your letters more engaging and professional to readers.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
