task response

Make the thank-you more about the stay at your friend's home, not only the holiday. Say why the watch is important in a clear way.

task response

Give the full office address in the letter, or say you will send it soon. This makes the return plan more clear.

coherence and cohesion

Keep one main point in each paragraph. The second paragraph starts with meeting again, then moves to the watch. Put the watch details first.

coherence and cohesion

Use clear links such as 'First', 'Also', and 'Once you find it'. Remove lines that do not help with the lost watch.

coherence and cohesion

Make some lines easier to follow. For example, write: 'I really enjoyed my time with you. Thank you for inviting me.'

task response

You thank your friend, say what you left, where it may be, and how to send it back.

coherence and cohesion

The letter has a clear start, middle, and end. The greeting and closing are also right for a friend.
