Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Ramandeep Kaur and I have submitted my application for a job in your company. I am writing this to inquire about the status of my application for the job of manager, it was submitted on June 1, 2026.

I am contacting you regarding this as I have not received any response or update regarding my application. I have already waited for more than three weeks, so I was wondering if the file is still under process or the decission has been made.

Honestly, I am really interested in working with your esteemed company and I also think that my communication and organisational skills are perfect for this specific role. It would be a great opportunity for me to work in your company and develop new skills. I would also appreciate it if you could provide me the timeline for the recruitment process.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I look forward to your positive response.

Yours faithfully,

Raman

Task Response

The letter fully addresses all parts of the task. You clearly identified the position applied for, specified the date of submission, explained the reason for writing, and politely requested an update. The tone is professional and appropriate for a formal inquiry to an HR manager. To further enhance the quality, ensure consistent spelling (e.g., 'decision' instead of 'decission'), but this does not detract from the overall task achievement.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is logically organized, and the progression of ideas is clear. You have addressed all parts of the prompt in a structured manner. However, some transitions between sentences could be smoother. For instance, the first paragraph contains a comma splice (joining two independent clauses with only a comma); using a period or a semicolon would improve the flow. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of cohesive devices to link your ideas more naturally.

Lexical Resource

You have used an appropriate formal tone and some good collocations, such as 'esteemed company' and 'time and consideration.' There are a few minor spelling errors (e.g., 'decission' instead of 'decision') and some repetitive phrasing (e.g., using 'your company' multiple times). To reach a higher band, try to use more varied synonyms for 'job' (e.g., position, vacancy, role) and 'apply' (e.g., submitted a candidacy) to demonstrate a more sophisticated vocabulary.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The grammar is generally understandable, but there are several errors that prevent a higher score. Specifically, there is a comma splice in the first paragraph ('...manager, it was submitted...'), and some awkward phrasing in the second paragraph ('...if the file is still under process...'). It would be more natural to say 'if my application is still being processed.' Work on mastering complex sentence structures and ensuring that punctuation is used correctly to separate independent clauses.
