Complete Response
To improve your score, you can elaborate more on how the proposed solution (sending books via post) would be implemented, e.g., timeline for sending, covering any additional costs, etc., to show a full understanding and resolution of the situation.
Logical Structure
To improve logical structure, though your letter is generally well-organized, consider adding a brief conclusion or summary statement to reinforce your apologies and intentions, enhancing the overall cohesion.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
