Hi Arthur and team,

I hope you are doing well. I am Nguyen, who is reserved the group of table for February 20th.

I am writing this email today wanted to ask if you and your team can help me to decorate the table to be the birthday theme. It is my bestie’s first time coming to town and we are celebrating her 25th suprised birthday. We are reserved the table for 20 people at 8pm, however, I and some friends want to come a little bit early than the reservation time to make sure the table is decorated and everything is ready when the birthday’s girl arrives. I would love to ask if you guys are having the flower and baloons decoration service that I can add on. The table will be decorated all red roses and lily, baloons will be on the backdrops where we can take pictures.

I am looking forward for your response, thank you for you time.

Nguyen

Task Response

The letter addresses the requirements of the task, providing details about the number of guests, the date and time, and special requests for decoration. However, it could be improved by including information about dietary requirements, if any, and by using a more formal tone suitable for a restaurant manager. Additionally, the organization could be clearer with a more structured approach to presenting the information.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider structuring the letter with a clear introduction stating the purpose, followed by paragraphs detailing the specific requests (number of guests, date/time, dietary needs, decorations), and a concluding paragraph. Using more formal language and transitional phrases would enhance the flow and clarity.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but could be more varied and precise. For example, instead of 'bestie,' consider using 'close friend.' Using more specific vocabulary related to restaurant arrangements and decorations would also improve the letter.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, correct tense usage, and article usage ('the,' 'a,' 'an'). For example, 'who is reserved' should be 'who reserved,' and 'suprised birthday' should be 'surprise birthday.' Proofreading carefully before submitting would help catch these errors.
