Dear Building Manager,

I am writing to bring to your kind attention that an ongoing water supply issue is severely affecting the apartment. Many of the times there is no water at all and it last for hours.

The problem is persistent in last few weeks, especially the peak shower times; mornings and evenings. I beleive it is due to the small tank capacity of water, whichit is insufficient for all the tenants.

It has a critical and direct effect on our routines and time management. We can’t cook or eat on time due to this and the long wait times for the return of water supply usually makes the people frustrated.

Given the issue, a proper in demand supply of water is really needed to solve this. Therefore, We humbly request the transfering of pipe lines from a storage to on-demand system.

I understand that technical difficulties can occur, however timely fixing of them will maintain a pleasant tenant and landlord relationship. I hopefully look forward to hear on this matter soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Jeevan Shibu

There are some minor grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, but overall the message is clear. To improve, focus on using more precise language and varying sentence structure.

Coherence & Cohesion

Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas within paragraphs.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement in using more precise and varied language. For example, instead of 'many of the times,' you could use 'frequently' or 'often.' Try to incorporate more specific vocabulary related to water supply issues and their impact.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. For example, 'transfering of pipe lines' should be 'transferring of pipelines.' Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
