Dear Jeff,

I hope you are doing well! I’m writting this letter to request you to grant me a day off. It is been a while that I’m struggling with a process to increase my credit card limit. Firstly, I completed my part of online procedure by filling the form. Second step was one of the bank employee will contact in order to solve the problem. However, I didnot hear back from the bank regarding it. Therefore, I decided to booked an in-person meeting with the manager on 17th February regarding my card limit . Due to this reason, I will require one day leave from the work.

Moreover, I will make sure to complete all my meetings with the client on previous day. And in order to complete the deadline of the upcoming project I will put an extra hours on the weekend to complete all the tasks.

I hope you understand and grant me a leave.

Yours sincerely,

Monica Patel

Task Response

7
The letter adequately addresses the task by explaining the reason for the leave, specifying the amount of time needed, and suggesting how the work could be covered. There are some minor areas for improvement. For instance, the explanation for needing the day off could be more concise and directly related to work impact. Also, while the letter mentions completing meetings and working extra hours, it could benefit from a more specific plan for how ongoing tasks will be handled during the absence. Overall, the letter is well-written and fulfills the requirements of the task.

Coherence & Cohesion

5
The letter is generally understandable, but the flow could be improved. The reason for the leave is explained, but the connection between the credit card issue and the need for a day off could be clearer. Consider explicitly stating that the meeting requires you to be away from work for the entire day. Also, ensure a smoother transition between paragraphs to enhance readability.

Lexical Resource

5
The vocabulary is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Using more precise and varied language could elevate the letter. For example, instead of 'struggling with a process,' you could say 'encountering difficulties with the procedure.' Also, 'booked an in-person meeting' could be refined to 'scheduled an in-person appointment.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5
The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. For instance, 'It is been a while that I'm struggling' should be 'It has been a while since I have been struggling.' 'Second step was one of the bank employee will contact' should be 'The second step was for a bank employee to contact me.' Correcting these errors and ensuring proper punctuation will significantly improve the letter's grammatical accuracy.
