Dear Jessica,

Hey! How are you? It’s been ages since we last caught up. Do you remember the last time we met at your birthday party? You have made a delicious white sauce pasta. Actually, I’m throwing a party and I want that recipe from you.

You would be extremely happy to know that I got promoted from the post of Junior Pharmacist to Pharmacy In-charge at my work place. That is why, I’m thinking to throw a party at my place and make some scrumptious cuisines and flavourful welcome drinks.

I specifically need that pasta recipe as most of my colleagues love to have pasta with red wine especially during these chilling snowy days. The moment they asked me to make pasta in dinner, you are the one who popped immediately in my mind.

By the way, I would be very happy if you could join us in the party. You can meet my other friends as well and it will be so much fun together.

The party won’t be the same without you. Take care and do let me know when you are coming.

With Love,

Sarah

The letter fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It is well-written and covers all three bullet points appropriately and sufficiently. There are no omissions or lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the letter is clear, and the points are presented in a logical order. However, transitions between some ideas could be smoother to enhance the overall flow. For example, consider adding a more explicit transition between explaining the promotion and mentioning the party details.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, using words like 'scrumptious' and 'flavourful' effectively. The language is appropriate for a friendly letter. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider varying your word choices even more to avoid repetition (e.g., finding alternative ways to express 'happy' or 'party'). Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter exhibits a good command of grammar with only minor errors. While the grammar is generally accurate, paying closer attention to sentence structure and avoiding overly complex sentences can improve clarity. Ensure correct use of tenses and articles throughout the letter.
