Dear Mr John,

I’m regret to inform you that the maintenance on several issues has to be resolved, which supposed to be done prior to my move. The kitchen sink is leaking, hot water takes a lot of time, mould on the washroom door.

I’m deeply dissatisfied on this matter. As the water leaks to floor every time while using kitchen sink, I had to mop after each use. In addition to that, I had to keep the water running for a while to get hot water from all the taps. It greatly affect my utility bill. More to this issue, the mould found on washroom door is concerning. I got cold and fever as I moved in, I suspect mould is causing it.

As I paid the advance , first and last month rent, all this issues should be cleared within next week. I will crash at my friend’s place till the work is done. Also, I will only pay for the days I stayed at the apartment for next month. Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Kiran

Task Response

The letter addresses all the requirements of the task, clearly outlining the maintenance problems, their impact, and the expected actions. However, the tone could be more professional and less accusatory, especially regarding the rent payment. To improve, focus on maintaining a polite yet firm tone throughout the letter and provide specific deadlines for the requested actions.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter's organization is somewhat unclear, and the progression of ideas could be smoother. Consider using more explicit transition words and phrases to connect your points and guide the reader through your concerns. For example, you could use phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'In addition to,' or 'Therefore' to link related ideas. Also, ensure each paragraph focuses on a single main point to improve clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is generally adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in terms of precision and sophistication. Try to use more specific and descriptive language to convey the issues you're experiencing. For example, instead of saying 'hot water takes a lot of time,' you could say 'it takes an excessively long time for hot water to come through the taps.' Also, avoid informal expressions like 'crash at my friend's place' in a formal letter to a landlord. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity and readability. Pay close attention to verb tense consistency, subject-verb agreement, and correct article usage. For example, 'I'm regret to inform you' should be 'I regret to inform you,' and 'mould on the washroom door' could be improved to 'there is mould on the washroom door.' Proofread carefully to catch and correct these errors before submitting your letter.
