Dear Mr. Kale,

My self Meet Patel. I live in apartment number 350 of the 200 bay st. Building. Started my lease on july 1st this year. I am writing this email regarding potential issues with some of the furniture.

My apartment contains most of the wooden furniture. Recently due to heavy humidity in environment all the doors are swallen. Hence i am not able to lock the enterance as well as washroom properly. Furthermore, Hindges on them are getting loose. Therefore, there are decent chances for the main gate to get dislocated from the designated place.

I belive it is a safety and privacy matter. Because of the immidiate actions necessary i would like to raise a concern regarding the issue as well as request you to look into the matter as soon as possible. I would prefer it to be replaced as it is already too old and there is not much scope for it to be repaired. I hope you will understand my concern.

Yours faithful,

Meet

Task Response

The letter addresses the task by introducing the writer, explaining the issue with the furniture, and requesting action from the landlord. However, there are some minor errors in addressing the task, such as not explicitly stating dissatisfaction with the furniture condition. To improve, ensure to clearly express dissatisfaction and the need for action in the introduction.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is mostly coherent and cohesive, with a clear structure of introduction, explanation of the issue, and request for action. However, there are some issues with paragraphing, and the flow could be improved by connecting ideas more smoothly. Consider using transition words to enhance coherence.

Lexical Resource

There is a good range of vocabulary used, but some words are misspelled ('swallen' should be 'swollen', 'Hindges' should be 'hinges', 'immidiate' should be 'immediate'). Additionally, some phrases could be more formal and precise. Try to use more sophisticated language and proofread carefully to avoid spelling errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. However, there are errors in subject-verb agreement ('Hindges on them are getting loose'), article usage ('the enterance'), and punctuation. Work on improving grammar accuracy by reviewing sentence structures and paying attention to details like articles and punctuation.
