coherence cohesion
Your letter has a logical structure, but you could enhance it by clearly separating your introduction, main body, and conclusion. Use paragraphs effectively to guide your reader through your points.
coherence cohesion
Your greeting and closing are appropriate for a formal letter. Maintain this level of professionalism in all your writing.
coherence cohesion
Each paragraph should focus on a single idea, which you've managed well. Aim to further refine this by smoothly transitioning from one idea to the next, using connective words or phrases.
task achievement
You have responded to the task requirements by expressing your complaint, providing background, and suggesting a solution. To improve your score further, work on offering more detailed specifics about how the problem affects your daily life and work, and clarify your desired outcomes more concisely.
task achievement
The tone of your letter is suitably formal, which is fitting for its purpose. However, to enhance your writing, avoid overly complex sentence structures that can make understanding more difficult. Strive for clarity and simplicity while remaining formal and polite.

The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

  • Dear + name
  • Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

  • Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
