coherence cohesion
You've done well with the structure of your letter, having a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Yet, to enhance coherence, try to connect your ideas more smoothly. Transition words like 'additionally', 'furthermore', or 'consequently' can help create a more seamless flow between paragraphs.
coherence cohesion
Be consistent with the level of formality throughout the letter. The greeting 'Dear Sir or Madam' is formal, but the casual phrase 'I look forward your answer' at the end slightly diminishes this tone. A more suitable closing could be 'I look forward to your response'.
task achievement
Your letter comprehensively addresses all the given tasks, explaining the reason for your leave, specifying the duration, and suggesting a solution for your absence. To further improve, consider providing more detail on how your colleague Phoebe can specifically handle your responsibilities, giving the manager more assurance of your planning.
