Dear Joanna,
How is it going? I hope you have a fanny with your family and dog. As you know lately, I moved to a new apartment, and now I have to sell my old furniture. To be honest, I'm aware that you wish for my armchair and sofa and now would like to represent it for you first.
Well, I have a beautiful new one in the flat. The old combo is not suitable for a living room because it's made with vibrant fabric and complicated patterns. Unfortunately, all of these kinds of details cannot be used in my room and I have to buy new a one.
Let me paint
this
superb set in detail. Just imagine these red colours with brown leaf patterns and how fantastic it
could be in your bedroom. Correct pronoun usage

In addition
, all details in the chair are in silver style as the couch. In real life, it looks so magnificent and of course, you should look at this
.
If you have any plans for my offer, I would invite you to come to me. I'm free tomorrow and at the end
of the day on 5th May, also
you can suggest your date. Please contact me and let me know which day is more convenient for you to visit.
Can't wait for your answer as soon as possible.
With love,

Language Accuracy
Consider rechecking the initial greeting for typographical errors ('fanny' is likely intended to be 'funny'). A more formal or appropriate expression might be 'I hope you are having a good time with your family and dog.'
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance coherence, ensure a logical flow between sentences and paragraphs. For instance, 'To be honest, I'm aware that you wish for my armchair and sofa and now would like to represent it for you first.' could be clearer and more direct. A revised version might be, 'To be honest, I know you've shown interest in my armchair and sofa, so I wanted to offer them to you first.'
Task Achievement
Improve your task achievement score by directly addressing all parts of the prompt in a systematic way. First, clearly state the reason for selling the furniture as due to moving into a new apartment. Then describe the furniture directly and concisely, avoiding vague language. Finally, make your suggestion for a viewing date direct and concise, possibly by offering specific dates and asking for a response.
Language Style
Refine your sign-off to suit the tone of the letter. A simple 'Best wishes' or 'Looking forward to hearing from you' followed by your name would maintain a friendly yet appropriate tone.
The Closing
The style of the letter determine how you have to close it.
Check out the suggested closing sentences for each type of letter in the General IELTS Test. The closing sentence should be the last sentence of your letter.
