Tone
Ensure consistent tone throughout your letter. While the friendly and personal tone is well-maintained, using phrases like 'radiant health' and 'quaint house' might feel a bit out of place in casual correspondence. Aim for a balance between warmth and informality.
Details
While you did a good job describing the coat and suggesting a means of return, expanding on why the belongings in the coat are important to you could strengthen the emotional weight of your request, adding to the task achievement score.
Flow
For coherence and cohesion, try to create smoother transitions between paragraphs. Use phrases such as 'On another note' or 'Additionally' to guide the reader through your narrative more fluidly.
Closing
Reconsider your closing valediction; 'Yours lovingly' is generally reserved for close family members or significant others. In a letter to a friend, consider using 'Warm regards' or 'Best wishes' for a suitable level of formality and warmth.
