task achievement
While your letter addresses the main objectives, providing more specifics about the situation, like mentioning the exact date of the purchase, and clarifying that it was 'two weeks ago' rather than 'last week' as mentioned, would enhance the clarity and context of your letter, aligning it more accurately with the task prompt.
coherence cohesion
To improve coherence and cohesion, consider linking your ideas more smoothly between paragraphs. Transition phrases such as 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to the above,' or 'Consequently' can provide clearer connections between your points, ensuring a more cohesive flow of information and arguments.
task achievement
To fine-tune your letter's tone, vary your sentence structures and employ more formal expressions where appropriate. Phrases like 'I am quite frustrated' could be rephrased as 'I find myself considerably inconvenienced,' which maintains a polite yet assertive tone, typical of formal complaint letters.
