Coherence and Cohesion
Consider using a range of cohesive devices (linking words) to improve the flow of your letter. While your letter is generally easy to follow, utilizing a variety of phrases to signal connections between ideas can enhance readability.
Task Achievement
Your letter adequately addresses all parts of the task. To further improve, ensure that each aspect of the task is developed fully. Provide more details about the damaged items and the impact of this damage to strengthen your position.
Task Achievement
Maintain a suitable and consistent tone throughout your letter. You have done well in keeping a formal tone, but ensuring that your word choice consistently reflects respect and politeness can further improve the overall impression.

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.
