coherence cohesion
Try to avoid repetition and redundancy within the letter. Words such as 'Sir/Mme' don't need to be repeated as often; instead, using just 'Sir' or 'Madam' will suffice after the first instance.
task achievement
Be careful with spelling and grammatical errors. For instance, 'wiriting' should be 'writing', 'twoo' should be 'two', 'vacancy' should be 'vacation' or 'leave', and 'propose' should be 'suggested'. Improving accuracy will enhance the clarity of your letter.
task achievement
Consider describing how your colleague will manage your tasks in more detail for greater clarity. For example, mention specific responsibilities or how you will ensure a smooth transition of duties.
coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph expresses a single idea more clearly. This will help to make your letter more organized and easier to follow.
task achievement
The tone is polite and respectful, suitable for addressing a manager.
coherence cohesion
The letter follows a logical structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion, which makes it easy to understand the writer's request.
