Dear Ms. Siew Ying,

I am writing to inform you that I forgot some essential documents on taxi during commute time after I attended a meeting.

I have put with blue color laptop bag, and documents included projects proposal and printed out client meeting notes . These documents are important for me and company because I need to submit project proposal and meet with client at this evening. I have tried to reach with taxi driver via taxi application. Unfortunately, I couldn’t reach out to taxi driver which was beyond my control. So, I would keep try to call taxi driver and direct call to taxi company. I hope it will get back.

However, I need your help to retrieve these documents from our company system and send it to me using email before 3 pm in order to catch timeline. If possible. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please rest assured that I am taking appropriate steps to prevent this from happening again Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours sincerely,

Ei Myat Mon

Task Response

The letter adequately addresses the task by describing the documents, explaining their importance, and suggesting a way for the manager to help. There are some minor lapses in clarity and detail, such as not specifying the date or time of the taxi ride, which could improve the response. Also, the letter could benefit from more specific details about the contents of the project proposal and client meeting notes to emphasize their importance. Overall, the letter is well-organized and polite.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally understandable, but the organization could be improved. Consider using more explicit topic sentences to introduce the main idea of each paragraph. Transition words could also be used more effectively to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs, enhancing the flow of the letter.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, but there's room for improvement. Try to use more precise and varied vocabulary to express your ideas more clearly. For example, instead of repeatedly using 'important,' consider synonyms like 'crucial,' 'essential,' or 'vital,' depending on the context.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter contains several grammatical errors that affect clarity. Focus on improving sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, and correct use of articles and prepositions. Review basic grammar rules and proofread carefully to minimize errors.
