Dear Mr. Zayed,

I am writing this letter to make a request to postpone a presentation, which I have to present at the end of this week. I am sick and was prescribed three days of complete bed rest by the doctor.

The presentation was about the clients’ engagement status, possible reasons for the delay in engagement completion, and how to overcome those delays.

Yesterday night, I went out with my childhood friends for dinner at a local fast food restaurant. That restaurant is well-known for its taste and hygienic food. We had a great time there. When I came back to my home, I felt severe stomach pain. I immediately rushed to the hospital and went to the emergency room. A medical examiner examined me and cross-checked my medical tests. The medical examiner mentioned that I had food poisoning and prescribed me three days of complete bed rest along with a week long course of medication.

I will be grateful to you if you can postpone my presentation until Monday.

Best regards,

Hamza Aleem.

Task Response

6.5

The letter effectively addresses all aspects of the task. The presentation is described, the reason for postponement is explained, and a new date is requested.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but the inclusion of details about the dinner and the restaurant feels unnecessary and disrupts the flow. The paragraph about the illness could be more concise.

Lexical Resource

The letter uses a good range of vocabulary, but some choices are not as precise as they could be. There are a few instances of repetition that could be avoided.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect the overall clarity and fluency. The sentence structure could be improved in some places.
