Dear Sir/Madam,

I was a passenger on the Air India Flight (Boeing 404) from Dubai(DXB) to London Heathrow(LHR) yesterday night which is on 7th June 2024. I accidentally left my cabin luggage on the flight because of an emergency. I am writing to inform you of this and to enquire about the steps I should take to get my bag back.

I was traveling to attend the graduation ceremony of my wife. She reached there two days back with my toddler. Soon after landing, I received a call from my wife informing me that my baby was sick and was admitted to the A & E. I rushed towards the exit immediately along with the handbag that I was holding. In a hurry, I completely forgot the cabin trolley bag which was placed on the overhead compartment. It was a medium-sized black trolley suitcase with the ‘American Tourister’ symbol on the top. Inside, it had a pair of formal suits and shoes each, a few of my personal care items, and a note-taking book. Fortunately, the passport and other necessary documents were in my handbag.

I contacted the customer service department soon after reaching the hotel and they advised me to send a letter to this address. I request you to kindly help me in getting my luggage back. I am ready to remit any extra charges for the carelessness on my side as the airline advised me to take all my belongings while leaving. I apologize for my mistake. Please let me know the necessary steps I should take for the same.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Albert Thomas

Task Response

7.5
The letter fully addresses the task, clearly explaining the situation and providing all necessary details. However, some minor points could be improved, such as providing more specific information about the flight (e.g., flight number) and clarifying the steps the airline should take to return the bag.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is well-organized and easy to follow, with each paragraph logically connected to the previous one. However, some transitions between sentences could be smoother, and the use of cohesive devices could be more varied.

Lexical Resource

7
The writer demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, using phrases like 'emergency', 'graduation ceremony', and 'personal care items'. However, some word choices could be more precise (e.g., 'A & E' could be explained for non-native speakers), and idiomatic expressions could be used more naturally.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

7
The writer demonstrates a good control of grammar, using a range of sentence structures and verb tenses accurately. However, some minor errors occur (e.g., 'which is on 7th June 2024' could be rephrased for better clarity), and more complex sentence structures could be used to enhance cohesion.
