coherence cohesion
Ensure that each paragraph has a single idea. For example, the introduction of yourself and your interest in photography could be placed in the same paragraph.

The letter generally addresses all parts of the prompt but could be clearer in some areas. For example, specify the model of the camera and the exact nature of the defect.

Maintain a formal tone throughout the letter. Avoid contractions like 'I can't'. Instead, use 'I cannot'.

Your greeting and closing are appropriately formal and polite.
