Dear Madam,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter in relation to a reference which I would be needed to submit along with my job application to secure a position. My name is Alex and I am a former student of B.Sc. Nursing 2022.

To provide you update, I have applied for a staff nurse position in Fortis hospital, India. I find their job posting online and applied for it, as I have recommended credentials for that position. However, while I was about to submit my application, it came to my knowledge that they are asking for reference letter also.

Fortis hospital, is the best hospital in India. Attaining a position in this hospital, provides an opportunity to enhance my skills and widen my knowledge horizons. Additionally, the revenue they are offering for new employees are remarkable.

Therefore, it would be very beneficial for me if you can write a letter of reference. I have looked online on hospital website as they have provided data they were seeking in reference letter. So I would suggest if you can mention my academic excellence along with behavioral and attendance excellence. I would appreciate it, if you are able to make a spare time to write a letter.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Yours Sincerely,

Alex.

Task Response

The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing relevant details about the job, its importance, and suggestions for the reference letter. There are a few minor areas for improvement. For instance, the letter could benefit from a slightly more formal tone in certain sections. Additionally, while the letter includes necessary information, elaborating further on specific skills or experiences relevant to the job could strengthen the request.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally coherent, but some sentences could be linked more smoothly to improve the flow. Consider using a wider range of cohesive devices to connect ideas between sentences and paragraphs. For example, in the third paragraph, the connection between the hospital's reputation and your desire to work there could be made more explicit.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room to enhance it with more specific and varied word choices. For instance, instead of 'recommended credentials,' you could use 'suitable qualifications' or 'relevant experience.' Also, try to avoid overly informal language; for example, 'make a spare time' could be rephrased as 'find the time.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that occasionally impede understanding. Focus on improving sentence structure and accuracy in verb tense usage. For example, in the second paragraph, 'To provide you update' should be 'To provide you with an update.' Also, pay attention to article usage (e.g., 'the best hospital in India'). Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to minimize errors.
