You were recently helped by an employee at the airport, write to the airport manager. In your letter:- - describe the problem - Talk about how you were helped - Suggest how to reward the employee

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing regarding the excellent service I received on the 14th of September at Delhi International Airport. I actually come into trouble after losing my boarding pass. After completing all the security checkpoints, I stayed in lobby B, where I had to take the plane. Half an hour before the takeoff I realised my ticket was missing.
Similarly
, after seeing me stressed, one of the security guards came and asked about the problem. I explained all the activities that I had done in the waiting area. He checked all the sites and assisted me in finding my gate pass on time. I would request you to give him an excellent service appraisal
along with
that he should be nominated for employee of the month. I hope you will consider
this
on behalf of me and take granted actions for
this
service. Yours faithfully, Harpreet Kaur.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
