Dear Sir,

I’m writing to make a request to you that want to go on holiday.

There are many reasons behind this decision, but I want to let you know about the primary one, I want to spend some time with my son. He is just two years old, and has been suffering due to my work overload, as I’m unable to give him quality time.

As my loved one loves to go outside and explore new places, I’ve planned to explore Kashmir with him, so I will need about two weeks at the end of this month. It will take two to three days for packing and making everything in order, before that, I want to have some time for shopping, too.

There is enough time for me to give my work handover to my competent colleague, Irsa. I’m working on documentation so each and every file, key contact and priority list of working should be available to avoid any bottlenecks. She can handle urgent projects, the rest will be covered by me, when I join my work again.

Thanking you for your assistance in advance, I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Sana

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately covers all requirements of the task, providing a clear explanation for the leave request, details of the duration, and a suggestion for work coverage. The tone is polite and professional. Minor improvements could include a slightly more formal opening and closing, and perhaps a more specific mention of the dates for the leave.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear. However, some sentences could be structured more effectively to improve the flow. For instance, the transition between explaining the reason for the leave and detailing the trip could be smoother. Consider using transitional phrases to connect ideas more logically.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement by incorporating more varied and precise language. For example, instead of 'making everything in order,' you could use 'finalizing preparations.' Try to use synonyms to enhance the richness of your writing.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

6
The letter contains some grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'I'm writing to make a request to you that want to go on holiday' could be improved to 'I am writing to request a holiday.' Pay close attention to sentence structure and verb tense agreement to enhance grammatical accuracy.
