Dear Toni,

I am writing to request two weeks off from work, as I am travelling to my hometown.

As our one of the biggest festival, Dashain is next month, my parents really want me to come to their place to celebrate together. It is been long time we have not really gather together for any festivals, therefore, I thought of visiting them this year.

I would like to request time off from 1st June to 14th June, 2026 and I will resume my work from 15th June, 2026.

Lastly, I have completed all of my projects that I have been working on, and I have handed it to my supervisor for review. If any information regarding the project is required when I am away, you can communicate with our team member, Atul Sharma, as he was in my team and he knows all the details regarding the projects.

I hope you consider my day off application.

Yours faithfully,

Ngawang Dolma Lama

Task Response

8
The letter appropriately addresses the task by explaining the reason for the time off, detailing the length of time needed, and suggesting how the work can be covered. The information is relevant and sufficient. To improve, consider adding a sentence or two to express your commitment to ensuring a smooth handover and your willingness to be available remotely if absolutely necessary. This would further demonstrate your responsibility and dedication to the company, potentially elevating the response.

Coherence & Cohesion

7
The letter is generally well-organized and the purpose is clear from the beginning. The request for time off, the reason, the duration, and the proposed solution for work coverage are all addressed. However, the transition between the explanation of the reason for the time off and the specific dates could be smoother. Consider adding a sentence to clearly link the desire to celebrate the festival with the requested dates. Also, ensure that the flow of information is logical and easy to follow.

Lexical Resource

7
The vocabulary used is appropriate for the context and conveys the message effectively. However, there's room to enhance the lexical resource by using more varied and sophisticated language. For example, instead of 'really want me to come,' you could use 'are eagerly anticipating my visit.' Similarly, consider alternative ways to express 'handed it to my supervisor for review' to demonstrate a wider range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains grammatical errors that affect clarity. For example, 'As our one of the biggest festival' should be 'As one of our biggest festivals'. Also, 'It is been long time' should be 'It has been a long time'. While the overall meaning is understandable, correcting these errors would improve the grammatical accuracy and make the letter more polished. Proofread carefully to identify and correct such mistakes.
