task achievement
While your letter is effective in communicating the main points, try to add more details about the furniture's condition and possibly price. This would make your letter more convincing and informative.
coherence cohesion
Watch out for minor grammatical errors and punctuation to improve the overall quality of your writing. For example, 'the good quality of furniture' can be better framed as 'high-quality furniture.' Also, 'so this is not possible to move all the equipment there' could be rephrased to 'so it is not possible to move all the furniture there.'
