coherence
Consider breaking down some sentences to improve clarity. For instance, 'Recently, I had a meeting with some office colleagues who told me that they have to eat their food on their office desks when they have a in-between 15 minutes break because lunch room is too far and they have to travel to the 3rd floor which wastes their time' is a bit long and could be divided into two sentences for better readability.
task
To make your argument stronger, you could include a brief explanation of how a cafeteria would benefit the company as a whole, such as improved morale or reduced sick days.
tone
The letter is appropriately formal and polite, which suits the purpose and audience.
task
You have addressed all the required points about the staff’s inconvenience, your feelings, and your suggestion.
coherence
The closing paragraph is effective and provides a clear call to action, asking for a meeting to further discuss the issue.

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.
