Dear Annie,

Please accept my deepest apologies for being absent from your new house party last Friday night.

I understand that I am to blame for the absence but the issue occurred due to an urgent case that was assigned to me right before I planned to leave the office. Additionally, the case was related to one of our valuable customers who had been served by our company for five years. As a result, the case was so important that I could not reject it, and I worked overtime until ten o’clock at night.

Nevertheless, is it possible to drop by your newly decorated place with a bottle of 1973 wine I just brought? I know you are keen on wine, and I would like to share this important moment with you.

I hope you can forgive me for this mistake, and I will make sure that it won’t happen again.

All the best,

Tim Liao

The letter fully addresses the task, apologizing for missing the party, explaining the reason, and offering to make up for it. However, the explanation could be more concise and focused.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is well-structured and easy to follow, with a clear introduction, explanation, and conclusion. However, some sentences could be more cohesive, and transitions between paragraphs could be smoother.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is varied and accurate, with some sophisticated expressions (e.g., 'deepest apologies', 'valuable customers'). However, there are some minor errors (e.g., 'Nevertheless' could be replaced with a more natural transition) and some phrases could be more idiomatic.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally accurate, with a good range of sentence structures. However, there are some minor errors (e.g., 'is it possible to drop by' could be rephrased for better clarity) and some sentences could be more concise.
