Task Achievement
Your letter provides a clear introduction to yourself and the issue at hand, which is good for task response. However, to enhance your task response score, ensure to further expand on how the delay specifically affected your situation, like missing your study intake, and emphasize the impact it had on you personally and on your plans.
Coherence & Cohesion
The structure of your letter is relatively clear, but could be improved by more effectively organizing your ideas into paragraphs. A paragraph dedicated to the consequences of the delay, followed by another clearly stating what you wish the officer to do would improve coherence.
Coherence & Cohesion
Including a formal closing to your letter, such as 'Yours faithfully' followed by your name, would enhance its cohesiveness and adherence to the conventions of formal letter writing.
Task Achievement
The tone of your letter is suitably formal, which is appropriate for writing to an official entity like the Regional Passport Office.
Coherence & Cohesion
You've initiated a clear introduction of yourself and succinctly stated the purpose of your writing, which establishes a logical start to your letter.
