Dear Daniel Ricciardo, I hope this letter finds you well. In light of your announcement of leaving the company at the end of the month, I can’t thank you enough for being here. Working alongside you has been the highlight of my career and I can’t imagine the company without your overwhelming support to every one of us here. Thus, the team and I decided to host a farewell party for you.It will be hosted this weekend in Gianni’s Trattoria, the new Italian restaurant that had just opened across the cafe we always buy our morning coffee from. It has a big sign with lights around it, it shouldn’t be too hard to spot. The party will start at 6.30 PM but feel free to come earlier. Additionally, all the reservations, food, drinks, are all on us. Consider it as our last treat before you go.

Once again, I am forever thankful for the efforts and memories you have brought to the team. I hope to see you there.

Sincerely,Yuki Tsunoda.

Task Response

The letter adequately covers the requirements of the task, providing details about the farewell dinner, its purpose, location, and time. However, the letter is written to the colleague who is leaving, not to a team member being invited. This misinterpretation of the prompt leads to some inaccuracies in the content. To improve, ensure you carefully read and understand the instructions to address the correct audience and purpose.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The purpose of the dinner and the details are clearly stated. However, the transition between expressing gratitude and announcing the party could be smoother. Consider using a more direct transition phrase to connect these ideas. Also, the description of the restaurant, while helpful, could be more concise to maintain focus.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is appropriate and conveys the message effectively. Phrases like 'overwhelming support' and 'last treat' are well-chosen. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating a wider range of synonyms or idiomatic expressions related to farewells and appreciation.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with only minor errors. Pay attention to sentence structure for improved clarity. For example, the sentence 'Working alongside you has been the highlight of my career and I can't imagine the company without your overwhelming support to every one of us here' could be split into two separate sentences for better readability. Ensure consistent use of punctuation throughout the letter.
