The logical structure could be improved by clearly separating the personal story, the problem description, and the requested action into distinct paragraphs.
task achievement
Consider correcting minor grammatical errors and rephrasing some sentences for clarity. For example, "My first concern is laptop was worked fine at first" could be improved to "Initially, the laptop worked fine, but this week it doesn't switch on."
task achievement
You've clearly explained the issue with the laptop and the impact it has on your work, which is important for the store to understand.

The closing and greeting were appropriate and polite, which is suitable for formal correspondence.

Use cohesive linking words accurately and appropriately

Linking words are very important in your essay.

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.

Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.

In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.

Linking word examples:

  • firstly
  • secondly
  • thirdly
  • in additional
  • moreover
  • also
  • for example
  • for instance
  • therefore
  • however
  • although
  • even though
  • despite
