Dear colleagues,

I am writing this letter in regard to Ahmad’s departure from our country.

As we all know that Monday is his last day here at work, and he has been such a good support to all of us in his tenure, in this company.I was planning a small farewell party for him over the weekend.

The party will be held on 17th of September, at the LDA Sports Complex on Saturday at 7 Pm.Dinner will be served to everyone there along with soft drinks and a mint margrita .Chinese cuisine will be presented since we know that everyone including Ahmad loves the tangy flavor of it.It will be a small gathering, consisting of all closest to him in order to celebrate his achievements in the company, and as a token of appreciation for all he has done for us.

Everyone is in a financial crunch these days so I am not making it obligatory to bring a gift but you can bring one if you want to.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Yours Sincerely

Haris Abdul Rehman

Task Response

8
The letter addresses all parts of the task effectively. The date, time, location, food, and gift instructions are all clearly provided. The tone is appropriate for a message to colleagues. To improve and reach a higher band, ensure better grammatical precision (e.g., 'As we all know that Monday is...' is a fragment/run-on structure) and refine the flow between sentences to avoid a slightly disjointed feel in the middle paragraph. Additionally, ensure punctuation spacing is consistent (e.g., 'company.I' needs a space).

Coherence & Cohesion

6
The letter follows a logical progression, addressing all parts of the prompt. However, the flow is occasionally interrupted by awkward sentence structures and punctuation errors. For example, the second paragraph contains a very long, run-on sentence that makes it difficult to follow the main point. To improve, try to use shorter, more concise sentences and ensure that each paragraph has a clear, singular focus. Using more varied cohesive devices (like 'Furthermore' or 'Regarding the food...') would help the transitions feel smoother.

Lexical Resource

7
You have used some good collocations and vocabulary, such as 'tenure,' 'token of appreciation,' and 'financial crunch.' These add a nice touch of sophistication. However, there are some minor errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'margrita' instead of 'margarita'). To reach a higher band, aim for even more natural phrasing; for instance, instead of 'presented,' you might say 'served' or 'offered' when referring to cuisine.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
There is a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but grammatical accuracy is inconsistent. There are issues with sentence fragments (e.g., 'As we all know that Monday is his last day...') and punctuation (missing spaces after periods and incorrect comma usage). Additionally, some phrasing is slightly ungrammatical, such as 'in this company' being placed awkwardly at the end of a clause. Focus on mastering sentence boundaries and ensuring that subordinate clauses are correctly attached to main clauses.
