Dear Saleha,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing this email for say soory for missing your birthday dinner.

Due to office work pressure I forget to arrange time to attend your birthday party for this I have deeply regret. But I know you will understand my problem because you are the only one that’s know me in better way.

My dear Saleha, actually I want to plan a alternate dinner party with you, upcoming monday. The location and hotel name I will share on WhatsApp before sunday.

Dear, you can’t imagine how much I am feeling Shamless after missing your birthday party. That day was very special for me, because on that day I had opportunity to see you and face to face we were talk. I know that you were full prepared from your side to lure me but due to my mistake I broke your all dreams.

Ok dear, now let it go this Monday we will meet Inshallah after dinner we will go any ice cream shop and also enjoy the taste of ice-cream than go any garden where can we sit. This time I try to kiss on your lip if I get chance. Because you can’t imagine how I am missing you from last two months.

I hope you will understand me and my problem and monday you will be present on the hotel.

And I have one request as you know I like black colour dress on you so try to wear black dress on Monday and don’t forget to apply henna on you hand.

Thank you,

Task Response

The letter generally addresses the requirements of the task, but the inclusion of irrelevant and inappropriate material detracts from the overall achievement. The apology and alternative plan are present, but the explanation for forgetting is weak. The tone becomes inappropriate in the latter half of the letter. To improve, focus on maintaining a consistent and appropriate tone throughout the letter, and ensure all content is relevant to the task.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the progression of ideas is not always smooth. The inclusion of personal details towards the end detracts from the main purpose of the letter, which is to apologize and suggest an alternative celebration. To improve coherence, focus on maintaining a consistent tone and purpose throughout the letter. Ensure each paragraph addresses a specific aspect of the task, such as the apology, explanation, and alternative plan, in a logical sequence.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is basic and sometimes inappropriate for the context. There are instances of incorrect word choice and phrasing. To enhance lexical resource, try to use a wider range of vocabulary that is more precise and suitable for expressing apologies, explanations, and suggestions. Consider using a thesaurus to find alternative words and phrases. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors, including incorrect verb tenses, subject-verb agreement issues, and awkward sentence structures. These errors significantly impact the clarity of the message. To improve grammatical accuracy, focus on reviewing basic grammar rules and practicing sentence construction. Pay attention to verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and the correct use of articles and prepositions. Proofreading carefully can help identify and correct errors.
