Ensure that all parts of the task are addressed. It would be beneficial to provide more clarity on what exactly caused the issue with the ticket and what specific actions you expect from the company.
coherence and cohesion
Improve sentence structure and grammar to enhance readability. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and use of articles. For instance, 'I bought a train ticket for a journey' and 'the staff told me that I couldn't use the ticket.'

Work on your paragraph structure. Currently, the paragraphs cover multiple points each, making the letter a bit hard to follow. Distinct paragraphs for description of the problem, your feelings about the experience, and your expected resolution would help.

Clear progression of ideas. It is evident from the letter what happened first, next, and last.
