Dear sana,

I am writing this letter to let you know that we are organizing a farewell party for tehsin as she is leaving the company. I need your help to coordinate the event that is been organized on 21th November saturday at 6pm.

I have been thinking that we can host the programme at The Samrat banquet hall located near the kheda highway crossing. i think that would work well and is most suitable because as it has a large garden area where we all can have fun and play games. Addictionally they also have a hall which can occupy all our colleagues in one place and keep us all warm as it might be cold at night.

For food i thought of keeping it vegetarian as majority of our colleauges are vegetarian so i think a cheese and panner sabzi with some manchurian as starter and followed by jeera rice and ice cream as dessert and for drinks i think it would be approppriate to keep it simple as fruit juice. Futuremore for entertainment i have planned some games which we can discuss and finalize when we meet later on.

Thankyou

Your faithfully

Suzan Talat

Task Response

The letter covers all the required points: it proposes a date and time, suggests a venue with reasons, and outlines food, drinks, and entertainment. The tone is appropriate for a colleague, and the structure is clear. However, there are some lapses in clarity and accuracy: the date '21th November' should be '21st November', and the phrase 'that is been organized' is grammatically incorrect. Additionally, the closing 'Your faithfully' is too formal for a letter to a colleague; 'Yours sincerely' or 'Best regards' would be more suitable. To improve, ensure correct spelling and grammar, and use a more consistent informal tone throughout.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally easy to follow, but there are some lapses in coherence and cohesion. The flow is disrupted by abrupt transitions and a few unclear references (e.g., 'that is been organized' and 'i think that would work well'). The paragraphing is adequate, but the second paragraph could be more logically organized. To improve, use clearer topic sentences and cohesive devices (e.g., 'Firstly', 'In addition', 'Finally') to link ideas smoothly.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there are several errors in word choice and spelling (e.g., 'Addictionally' instead of 'Additionally', 'Futuremore' instead of 'Furthermore', 'approppriate' instead of 'appropriate', 'colleauges' instead of 'colleagues'). The range of vocabulary is limited, and some phrases are informal or imprecise (e.g., 'keep it simple as fruit juice'). To improve, use a wider range of precise and formal vocabulary, and proofread for spelling errors.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains numerous grammatical errors that affect clarity and accuracy. There are issues with verb tense (e.g., 'is been organized' should be 'has been organized'), subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'as it has' should be 'as they have'), and punctuation (e.g., missing capital letters for proper nouns and at the start of sentences). The range of grammatical structures is limited, and there are frequent errors in articles and prepositions. To improve, review basic grammar rules, practice using a variety of sentence structures, and proofread carefully.
