Dear Sir or Madam,

Good day!

We will be having our family vacation this coming March 26, 2026 in La Casa Resort and I would like to book two rooms in your hotel for three nights and two days, good for four people.

We will be getting one of your VIP rooms, with balcony and a private pool. The other room will be getting, is for my mom’s two friend, they wanted to have an individual bed and an extra hair-dryer. If you could also put an iron with ironing board, it will be much appreciated.

Additionally, I also want to avail the buffet breakfast for all of us. I would like to request for a separate cake, for it will be also the birthday of my Mother the next day after.

This will be our first get away as a family this year, so I hope we will not be disappointed.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Faith Bautista

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by including the preferred dates, number of people, and accommodation type. Specific requests are also mentioned. To improve, the letter could benefit from a more precise specification of the dates (mentioning the check-out date) and a clearer structure, perhaps by dedicating a paragraph to each of the bullet points provided in the task instructions. Also, the tone could be more formal and avoid phrases like "I hope we will not be disappointed."

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider dedicating a separate paragraph to each main point: dates and number of people, accommodation type and preferences, and specific requests. This will enhance clarity and flow. For example, the request for the cake could be in its own sentence or combined with the buffet request.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied language could elevate the letter. For instance, instead of 'good for four people,' you could say 'suitable for a family of four.' Also, consider using synonyms for words like 'getting' to demonstrate a wider range.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, the sentence 'The other room will be getting, is for my mom's two friend' is grammatically incorrect and confusing. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and sentence structure. Proofreading carefully before submitting can help catch these errors.
